That is an awesome little plane, I fell in love with the VV when I was a kid. The single-slotted screws in the panel are triggering me though - I need to get a life.
What an unusual aircraft. The only thing that makes me 'concerned' about is the propeller being constantly in the exhaust stream at that mid section where it is stained. For the AOA, I'll bet you could use a fuel level sender and gauge to make a needle indicator instead of tge lights. Thanks for another walkaround.
@@ErikJohnston Thank you! They look good! Amazing how good the cameras have become these days. They save a ton of headaches! Will you be at Wings over Dallas next week? I'm a hobby photo/videographer. Would love to meet you and say hello!
@@OpenFilmmaker I probably will be. Not sure what days though. Normally my plate is pretty full so I don’t always have time to meet up. But looking forward to seeing what you shoot
Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Are there other planes that are faster, a little safer, or more efficient? - won't argue that for a second. It has always been my favorite plane - bar none. I was 7 years old when it first flew. Information for the Variviggen was around the house because my Dad was interested in his newest design, the Variese. At a young age and into Sci-fi, the VariViggen captured my imagination and interest - Wow, what a futuristic looking aircraft. To me it looked like a combination aircraft/spacecraft. Looking at Burt Rutan's career, the irony of my young thoughts still brings me a smile. Awesome restoration of a beautiful plane (imho) - extremely well done RAFE.
Thank you for all the companies that donated to this wonderful project. Please encourage them!
Great tour.. Very cool to see Burt's first design up close.
Nice! I did air-to-air photos with him while he was there!
Yeah I saw those. Great shots as always brother!
So cool, I have been seeing those aircraft for so many years and now a great familiarization video.
Burt Rutan is a legend of aviation
Great walk-around. Thanks!
Capt. Zadow,,,,Flew with him at SWA. Great guy and extreamly knowlegable
Just love sir... just love to all of you. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Super cool!!

There was a version with 2 jet engines on top of each other...no issue like that on that one...
Now that was interesting.
GOOD ... Canard with [ slotted Flap ].
Nice videos on your channel! Curious what camera you use and if you're doing any focus pulling?
Believe it or not, I shot all 12 Walkaround videos on a GoPro 9 Black.

@@ErikJohnston Makes sense! Happy shooting and looking forward to your video as well!
Are you guys coming back to oshkosh this year?
I’ll be there filming more for my channel
I've seen two others flying.
I know Ryszard. he's a good dude.
He sure is! Was great making the video with him
It may be cool, but it sure is ugly. Watched a guy build a Quickie in the early 1980's. Had a Onan industrial engine in it.
