That french bird I posted a few days ago was super impressive ..... this old lady is just as much so...but from a different era.
I've always loved this machine....but just compare her moves to the French one. It would be like racing a Ford Mondeo (which I have) against a Lambo (which I wish I had)
And all this in how many years?

Anyway ..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv4pQc6Vo8U

Aerospace surely went through a golden era in the 20th century - and nothing like a good war to spur things on.
Just look what the Gloster Company fielded at the beginning of WWII
and where they got to, just 5 years later

I must say I rather preferred the Draken to the Viggen, it was the fastest jet in its day, and mean looking :)
