Hence, the robust structure of MiG's and Sukhoi planes. SAAB has traditionally taken another angle to view at this problem. Superior maneuverability of SAAB planes (just google , or ; not to mention AJ-37 Viggen footage available online..) saves both the pilot and the plane. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1802759141459573337.post-75357757240163544042014-11-03T20:17:44.327-08:002014-11-03T20:17:44.327-08:00Meanwhile the rest of the world is doing peace tal...Meanwhile the rest of the world is doing peace talks.grah55noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1802759141459573337.post-1406095131568198382014-11-03T12:03:36.939-08:002014-11-03T12:03:36.939-08:00It looks like you missed the point.
