A Saab J35 Draken Spends Some Time at Inyokern Airport
The Swedish Saab
J35 Draken is frequently used when a sleek, exotic, jet fighter
is needed for TV commercials or movies. Although the Draken dates from
the 1950's,
its dart-like shape gives it a look that implies speed.
This draken participated in the filming of a TV commercial during January 2004.
