Fantaaaastic!!! It seems that the Sweedish A.F. has budget... sadly here we have plenty of potential air worthy classics... but they will rott due lack of budget even to keep first line fighters operational... that Saab remember me the first soviet jet powered fighters. what a cutie! |

Hi Rodolfo, from what I have heard from a Swedish friend, the Swedish Air Force has no large budget for the Historic Flight. But, they have think of a other clever method: The planes are maintaned from retired ex-Air Force personal. The Air Force let them use, the infastruktur, like hangars, special tools, etc. Also, not all, but most of the SwAF-HF planes, are operated on the military register not civil. That´s save them every year, a great amount of money! Maybe, a idea for your country? |

Yes, you are right. Messerschmit developed in 1945 the P.1101 (http://www.luft46.com/mess/mep1101.html). Many German technicians, after the war, found new jobs at Saab. So, they helped to develop the J29! It was a great aircraft for the Swedish Air Force! The first true jet fighter they had (if you don´t count the J21 with jet engine). In Austria, they flow until 1973, I think! |

I like the SAAB Tunan. I have one in 1/72 scale that is asking to be put together. Sadly, I have no time at this moment for such a project. The SAAB Tunan was the only plane who was at war with the Swedishs, during a mission supporting United Nations Forces somewhere in Africa. |

The Focke Wulf TA-183 also looks like the SAAB Tunan.

Yes, the Focke-Wulf was planned, according to the same specifications as the Messerschmitt. I think, there must be also a Blohm & Voß design very simmilar to the other two. The Saab J29 fought with the Swedish UN-troops in Zaire, in the 60es. |

The Bell X-5 was developed directly from the Messerschmitt P.1101. After WWII, the US brought the prototype of the Messerschmitt in the USA, and developed the X-5! PajaroAzul2112 wrote: Another result of the German projects during World War II. The Bell X-5
