Saab Draken Survivors.

Just wondering if there are any surviving Drakens flying in the States anymore.Something that looks like one has been spotted at Groom a few weeks ago.

While resembling a Draken shape a bit, the wings on the example spotted at Groom lake are a bit different, especially in the outer section, with another kink the Draken does not have. I am pretty sure that is not a Saab spotted there....

Sorry, can't answer your question about the sexiest jet fighter design ever but I occasionally catch a glimpse of one at about the 4 minute mark of the Soundgarden vid, "Burden in My Hand"...

One with wings and one without, under the C-133's in the Boneyard at Mojave.
