That Saab is a weird looking thing. It almost looks like it should be barely maneuverable. |

Yet it was described as "agile." |

Thank you for sharing this information. Because of the lack of historical encounters, this is a hard period to game. However it is a fascinating period with some really interesting airplanes. I've got a bunch of jets from this period, I just need the time to paint them. Good inspiration. |

You don't see much about the J-29 anywhere. |

I love this period, especially with some of the British and USN aircraft. Be aware that the Fury had some terrible design flaws that made it almost incapable of successfully hitting a target. It was almost functionally useless as a fighter due to the tinkering that went on in its design. Such a shame since a navalized Sabre should have been a winner. |

The FJ-4 model saw most of the flaws addressed that plagued the earlier models. Regardless, it will be a fun game to host!! |

We've flown the Tunnan in the highly-detailed game "Birds of Prey." Good aircraft. |
