Hi Gary.
I used to look at those Drakens when I was a kid back here in Denmark. The AC in question is actually an old Draken from the Danish Airforce. In 1982 I spent one week with the firebrigade at FSN Karup/Denmark and got to look at those Drakens take off and land all day. They used the brake shutes upon landings, and one of the things we had to do, was to pick them up from the runway after they dropped them. A lot of excitement for at 16-year old[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
Ya, that would be a thrill for a 16 yr old. It would still be neat to see them taking off and landing with the chutes today. Funny that they have made their way over here.
