Here are some photos of a Saab Drakken J-35Oe I took during a visit to the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum - HGM, at Vienna. The HGM is supposedly the largest purpose-built military museum in the world, and has a formidable exhibition.
This particular Drakken is an ex-Austrian Air Force
version, and it is placed outside the museum. Although subjected to the
elements, the aircraft is in good shape, and it was possible to take
photos of several interesting details.
By
the way, among so many interesting things to see, the HGM displays
the automobile in which the throne Francis Ferdinand and his
spouse were shot to death, starting the World War I. If you are in the
area, it is worth to reserve a day to visit it.
I hope
you find these photos useful somehow. If you have
any interesting information about the history of this equipment, please drop
me
a
line.
