And by 1998, the Draken was even mistaken - by the not aeronauticaliy literate folks watching MTV - as the F-22 Raptor at this point in time.

I too am stunned on why Soundgarden chose a Swedish Saab J35 Draken to do a flyby in their music video instead of a home-grown American high-performance jet fighter like the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the F-14 Tomcat or the just entered service back in 1996 with a couple of Pratt & Whitney F100 afterburning turbofan engines - the F-18 Superhornet.Ringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09506068154852505840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5958379051419336630.post-90855838425754721762012-05-30T09:30:20.333-07:002012-05-30T09:30:20.333-07:00I don't know about the XB-70 Valkyrie competin...I don't know about the XB-70 Valkyrie competing with the Swedish Saab J35 Draken, but I do remember that Soundgarden music video - Burden In My Hand - when a (as I then know a few days later thanks to those Discovery Channel old fighter jet documentaries) Saab Draken did a flyby 4 minutes and 4 seconds into Soundgarden's music video.April Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457473139568675050noreply@blogger.com
