The End of an Era: The Draken's Last Flight 25 November 2005 -
After more than 17 years of flawless service, 500 alerted take-offs and 23,545 hours of logged flight on behalf of the Austrian Air Force's pilots on Saab's Draken 35OE, the prominent delta wings take their leave and thus round off a major chapter of aviation in the Austrian Armed Forces.
The Air Force organized a festivity in honour of the Draken in Zeltweg, Upper Styria, which was the second air base apart from Graz having Drakens stationed. Günther Platter, Minister of Defence, cordially welcomed his predecessors in office, Friedhelm Frischenschlager, Helmut Krünes, Robert Lichal and Herbert Scheibner. http://www.bundesheer.at/english/dynmod/artikel.php?id=1708
