First time seeing Saab 37 Viggen STOL blew me away! [4K]

Now I always knew Swedish Air Force fighters were designed for short field and rough terrain takeoffs and landings from improvised runways, but I never knew quite how capable they really were. The Saab 37 Viggen shows that capability off here with a STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing). For a Cold War fighter that is more than 50 years old, it was very impressive to witness for the first time. Especially considering the Saab 37 Viggen is neither small nor light. I really was blown away. Oh, and taxiing backwards? Super cool.
