Those look too old to be the SAAB delta-wing fighters: the Grippen and the Draken, plus those aircraft ave no canards which both of the SAAB aircraft have. Based on the shape and position of the roudels, I think that those are Israeli Kfirs or early-model Israeli Mirages. We wouldn't have to guess if the person that posted the photograph included a reference. Edited April 8, 2021 by tous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) Well, excuse my lack of skill with Swedish spelling. <--- not a fan of canards for aircraft edit: I apologize, Tony. I thought that you were joshing me about my spelling of Draken. Did you know that the Swedish alphabet has 29 letters? You do now.

gwalchmai Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 And yes, they're spectacular. (Not sure about the key...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Thanks for the identification of the aircraft, amigos. I don't get them wrong often, but when I do, I just sit and SAAB my eyes out. Looking at that aircraft's history, it was a significant post-war aircraft. Though impressive, I am still not a fan of delta wings or the later canards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This photo is either the 1931 or 1933 Survey flight that Lindbergh and his wife did in those two years.
