1. My data tells me 2126 km/h, but well, let's say it's Mach 2.0
2. Somewhere between 1992 and 1996 :-p
3. 26 April 1987, SAAB 50th anniversary
4. 39.102, June 8 1993
5. I think about 20 per year
6. 800m
7. Must be the JA 37 Viggen.
8. February 1989
9. AJS 37 Viggen
10. 6500 kg (14,330 lb), roughly the same as it's empty weight, then looking at the MTOW (12.5 for the A, 14 for the C), it leaves not much room for fuel, making the figure a very theoretical one.
