Nice pictures Jan. Love the black one, but it's not the "13"...
What's the story behind the one with blue-white-green tail and scary nose art?

Both are from 'my' airforce base where I used to live in Sweden. I think that these might have something to do with, when they switched from Viggen to Gripen.
The grey Viggen has our flag, Republic of Jamtland, on its tail and our own lake monster (sister or brother to Nessie in Loch Lomond) on the nose.....unfortunately, the base is now closed

BTW, when did 'Nessie' move to Loch Lomond?
