Scandinavians live in colder temperatures, which means that their brains are less likely to overheat, allowing them to be slightly larger than the rest of the world.

But they never did invent the Nuke so ... ;-P

Either way this vid is about a kickass plane so please folks stay on topic!!

Landing, turning around by itself and taking off in a 1:22 long video clip.

Co-Pilot : Ah damned they´ve forget the 2nd Bic Mac and an Cheeseburger -.-*

Pilot : Awwh I am hungry for two, lets go back to get it ...

@TripleZ89

Actually, there was a Swedish nuclear program, but it was cancelled for political, economical and strategic reasons. Not because it was too hard. The Viggen was actually designed to be able to carry them.

Imossible to deny, it's a beautiful aeroplane

@CapKorzeniowski True. JAS looks more like F16 or something.. not the biggest guy on the schoolyard.. However, since JAS knows Tae-Kwondo you still have to watch out for it :D

[azynkron]

@Tjita1 Yeah.. I grew up with these. However, they became very costly to maintain at the end. But if you consider their long service period, it's actually quite an achievement.

@TripleZ89 Not quite true about the nuke.. look up mr Niels Bohr.

[zhotdune]

I don't know...but I think the ability to turn this way because of the engine reverse thrust function....carefully control reverse thrust plus the special wheel arrangement made it possible for this move.

Okay, that's it. I'm off to change underwear. Really, that's the most beautiful thing ever. It's a crime they don't fly anymore...

@fillecool2 Yep, they were though, but you know what I mean.
