Jakt Viggen theeprophet=rock.com: Too much LSD?


Fredrik Ast, e-mail, 22.06.2010 15:54

Many parts are not same as in the JT8D and therefore not interchangable. The RM8A and RM8B are stated by swedes to have been developed in sweden but the truth is the desing and much of the data was always owned by P&W and only shared vith Volvo Flygmotor on a need to know basis.

Viggen does not only mean thors hammer bolt but also a bird living in sweden called Vigg.

Seems so far fetched stating such thing that your relative paied saab and made them choose your name for the plane.

Also the plane was not named JA37 jaktviggen but AJ37 Viggen

The fighter version was much later and with the lengthened RM8B engine much easier to handle than the RM8A.

This is the last part of the post which was cut off by the limitations of posting length by the system owner. Please see the previous post first then this one for the last couple sentences.

=====

I was unsure of what to think or do, and in a day or two the Union president was found dead floating in his tub. less than a week later my Grandfather was followed all over the SeaTac mall by 2 Filipinos in suits with a plate of candies pestering him to try one, but not my grandmother, in one store and the next, finally he did and as he began to chew it they dumped the plate and ran off and in seconds my grandfather fell over dying, moments later I was called, I called and told the police what my Grandmother explained to me, they did nothing. A couple years later I did get some response, from them but they were too late, although it did help to add charges to the ones caught in Las Vegas. The Seattle police are so crooked, It was them I ended up finding out were running a stolen car chop shop with a towing company in Seattle, and the 2 detectives in charge of auto-theft were the leaders, and a total of 28 cops and guards were involved, including a halfway houses, it took me 30 days to track it all down when a car of mine was stolen that I built from the ground up. If anyone tells me gun control is needed, yep, no guns for cops, and full control over any gun you aim and shoot. making sure you hit what you aim at, and that is the only Gun control I accept.

I am currently fighting cancer, without even the slightest fear. I live with a feeding tube in my stomach, and I ride my Harley with an IV pole tied to me, I refuse to give up... The 23rd Psalm was written for me to be my motto.

Before I die, I must make some things clear, so history will be recorded properly, and the secret won't pass away with me. Or anyone else who may still be alive and knows it.

This short piece here is only the needle in the haystack, of my life, and brushes with death, all of which can be verified through records kept many places.

My name in the us is spelled differently. My uncle of Swedish decent, and a great admirer of SAAB cars and aircraft, hearing what my name would be when born in 1952, was elated so much he invested heavily in SAAB to have a plane built with extensive power as a fighter plane, and he was impressed with new ideas of canard and delta type wings, he made an agreement with Saab it had to be a delta canard configuration and have my name, and so, in keeping with Saab's current methods of naming their planes, the fighter was named "JA 37 Jaktviggien" (the proper Swedish spelling), and my Great uncle, is Jack Warner of Warner Brothers, he was without children and I had the initials of J.W.V. He called me J Dub 2, as everyone called him J Dub, or JW, and made sure I knew the plane was named after me even though it still had not been built. The King and Queen of Sweden came to see me in Seattle, when I was about 7 or 8, shortly after I came out of an extended coma, in which a death certificate had been written and signed, a casket purchased, a cemetery plot purchased, all waiting for my body to stop the very slow heart rate and respiration's, but my mother refused to let them fully remove life support means and took me home to care for me, refusing to accept I was dead. I awoke after she was beat, my two baby brothers were beat and all 3 left for dead. I half paralyzed, woke up and saved their lives by getting help from neighbors.

The King of Sweden said to me, that I have lived fully up to my name before I was even 7 years old, he also asked if I knew the meaning of my name, I told him, and he was very pleased I knew the Swedish meanings, and stated he knew of no one else who has been the true fighter as I have at that age. The Queen was wearing a full length white fur coat of excellent quality, she was beautiful standing there, she took my hand said a few things in Swedish and asked if I knew what she said, I said yes and told her, and at that they were all amazed I knew more than just a word or two in Swedish.

The story of my first name, and my last, each are of great significance in Swedish lore, and very easy to find out. That is the meaning of the name told with the aircraft, as Jakt the fighter of all fighters, Viggen the speed and power of the lightning bolt from Thors mjoller (hammer).

When JA 37 flew it's maiden flight in 1967, my uncle was there and brought back films to show me, it was an awesome thing to see even on those old news reels, at the old Paramount theater in Seattle one afternoon, him and I alone, is one film I will never forget seeing.

My father, was the drummer for Wayne Newton in the 50's and 60's, His name Was Jack M. Veggin, I am Jack W. Veggin. I was the first to break the 4 minute mile, and twice in one day, it is on record, but kept quiet, when I was in boot camp at 32nd street San Diego in 1971, but my uncle blocked it from the news, because I never wanted any publicity for anything, after being attacked and put in a coma, I wanted from then on to live a normal life, to have the chance to know everyone BEFORE they know who I am.

How my Grandfather and Grandmother met, is amazing in itself, with both families migrating here in to the northwest two different ways from Sweden to other countries first. The background from my grandfather to his great grandfather who was originally from Sweden and the spelling of his name was Viggen, changed several times in migration to Austria, then his son to Italy, and with their fist son who was a grandfather when killed by communist Prussians invading Trieste, who killed all the men and boys in the village except my grandfather who hid in a wine barrel for a 3 days, and his brother, I don't recall where my grandfather said he hid. At 14 he joined up on a merchant ship overtaken by muslim pirates, who killed all but him he finally jumped ship off the coast of Astoria Oregon, during the night, and swam to shore meeting a kid, not speaking any English the boy helped him to shore took him home, the two are famous in the Seattle cooks union, both murdered by Philippine gangsters who conned and took control of all cooks unions on the west coast then began to embezzle the money from all the accounts until my grand father and his friend, who then was the president of the Seattle cooks union, went to their office in Las Vegas, and tried to get answers, being threatened, and unable to get an answer, they broke into the offices that night and got the evidence needed, bank documents of transfers to foriegn accounts, came back, got threats, and scared my grandfather called me, I was unsure of what to think ...

Excellent piece of kit, keep up the good work Saab!


leo rudnicki, e-mail, 14.04.2009 04:16

The engine is the JT8D, from the DC-9 and many other ailiners, with a swedish afterburner section. That is why the plane looks a little chunky, but it scoots along, carries lots of missiles and the JA model carries a BIG gun. This is not your mother's Boeing 737.
