About the actual aircraft
The Saab Bigen is a jet fighter originally developed, deployed and operated by Sweden in Northern Europe.
Development started in 1961 as a successor to the Doraken. After the first flight succeeded in 1967, it was deployed and put into operation in 1971.
The aircraft is equipped with canards on both sides of the cockpit and delta wings. The engine is equipped with one Pratt & Whitney JT8D-22.
While it has a maximum speed of Mach 2.1, it is proud of its STOL capability that allows takeoff and landing on short runways. It is equipped with 30 mm Erlikon KCA cannons as fixed armament. It was equipped with RB71 Skyflash short-range air-to-air missiles. It has a total capacity of more than 300 aircraft. In 2002, the 1st Squadron of the 10th Squadron produced a commemorative coating machine as a memorial to the dissolution of the Squadron.
The entire body of the Bigen is painted red. The model is called' レッドビゲン'. The ghost of the unit mark is painted white on the nose and main wings. The aircraft is still on display in Swedish museums and can be seen even today.
