Saab Viggen AJ-37 Jet Fighter Plane

329 Saab Viggens were built between 1970 and 1990 as an attack and reconnaissance fighter for the Swedish Air Force. The Saab Viggen entered service with the Swedish Air Force in June 1971 and partially replaced the Saab 35 Draken fighter in the reconnaissance role in 1975. The Saab Viggen remained in service with the Swedish Air Force until November 2005 being replaced by the advanced Saab 39 Gripen. It is of note that several Saab Viggens were retained until mid 2007 for electronic warfare training.
