Draken N35350 For Sale in USA

Just spotted this - seems a steal for $425K having just undergone a $400K overhaul. Also, the ad states that an LLC is for sale with an agreement with the Swedish government to furnish spares and additional aircraft.

If any ex-FJ PPRuNers fancy setting up one of those civilian operated DACT / target facilities outfits - there are already a few over here in the USA - I might be interested in being the SEngO !

I'm sure some of the WIWOLs will love the sound of a RR Avon - after all, more than a few will be used to flying with only one of them from time to time !

Here's a different one at RAF Waddington in 2014 - I always thought it was a nice machine in it's day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd4Fb4QfZKk

In 1965 as a Towers cadet in a RN frigate on a RN courtesy visit to Stockholm the Swedes took us to the Swedish Air Force College at Uppsala, and laid on a flying display for about a dozen of us - J29, Lansen and the J35: well impressed we were.

Why would anyone spend that money on a Draken when you could have a Hunter T.7 for a fraction of that and get more enjoyment!
