    Welcome!
    And being a Coleman collector, I'm sure you can contribute a lot.
    We need that!
    It's actually a bit surprising how little focus this supposedly international forum got on Coleman, considering what a giant that brand is compared to all those other players we got around here.
    Coleman should rightly be the manufacturer that would be mostly represented in here, but strangely enough it isn't in the general chat.
    I wonder why.

    Ah, yes! Draken (The Dragon) is on of my favourites from SAAB. It is so small and slim compared to other SAAB flights.
    But the later Viggen (The Thunderbolt) is more powerful and brutal :lol:

    I drove a SAAB 9-5 myself up til just recently.
    Not my favourite car, though. I actually prefer US-cars myself, but atleast SAAB used to be much better than Volvos in my world, if you must pick a Swedish one!
    What model of SAAB do you drive?

    I have a 2005 , 9-5 Combi and a 2006 9-3 Combi Aero... the wife has a older 1998 9000 CSE she still enjoys with over 230,000 miles on the clicker... I was a ejection seat tech for the USAF, worked the A-10, F-16, F-15 and for a very short time, the EF-111.

    Wow! You sure like SAAB in your family :lol:

    Of the planes you worked with, I sort of like the warthhog!
    It's not always the most glamorous or 'sexiest' plane that wins the entire battle.
