Description

A SAAB JA37 Viggen just prepares to start from a hidden base somewhere in Sweden. During the 1950s the Swedish air force started to build road bases after an idea taken from Germany. Built under the BASE 90 distributed airfield scheme,the bases were ordinary highways constructed in such a way that they could also serve as landing strips. These short runways are still used today for training, landing and taking off with Gripen and Hercules as preparation for international operations under adverse conditions. Saab Viggen by BAZZE Highway, Roadsign, Bunker selfmade. (You can find the Bunker in my freebie section) Thanks for Viewing & Comments! Have a nice flight, Tafkah
