Does any of you guys know how many countries that used SAAB Draken before they retired?
I know Denmark and Sweden did. And we were actually pretty sad when they retired a few years ago. They have been some of the best fighters we have ever had. So it was a shame to see them go.
But thankfully I see one everytime I drive past the gate to Karup Air Base. They use one for decoration now. And that is a great sight

Should have been Sweden, Denmark, Austria, and the Miller Brewing Company.

Miller Brewing Company????
Were Sweden, Denmark and Austria the only one who used Draken? I thougt there were more countries using them.
But what does Miller Brewing company use them for? Private Jet or what?

They used one for a superbowl add and I think it was the one they used as the opposing aircraft in the movie, "Firehawks"

Haha!! You got to be kidding me???
It's a shame to see that picture above. It really doesn't look good anymore.
I hope they have repainted it and use it for collection item.

I forgot to mention that the Miller Brewing Company Drakens where proposed to be used on a stike on Golden Colorado
But it was called off.

Sorry to get off topic but did you hear about that black bear in Washington State this week that raided a bunch of coolers and ended up drinking 36 cans of Ranier beer before he passed out, he tried one Busch can then left the others

That bear story - wasn't that a Lord Buckley routine? "I'm God's own drunk and a fearless man!"
Skip Holm had a Drakken at the Reno Air Races last year. Really a good looking plane up close. Who owned that one?

Hi guys,
Let me point out that Austria still uses the Draaken. There are plans (and a signed contract) to replace it with the Eurofighter, but as we speak, the Draaken are still in use by the Austrian military. And no, this is neither a joke nor am I drunk.
