Farewell to Saab’s Christer Nilsson

I’m not sure of the exact date this is happening, I was only told it was the end of May and I haven’t asked again since. But seeing it’s now around the end of May…..
I’d like to take this opportunity to wish Christer Nilsson, the PR guru from Saab Sweden, a very happy [...]

UPDATE below!
——
Our very own 1985 Gripen happened to be doing some work in the San Joaquin Valley in the last few days and was heading home when this happened:

I can confirm that the 9-4x information agreed with info I’d previously heard from a completely independant and very [...]

Things I like to see

One thing I’ve always enjoyed about Saab is their capacity to produce some great images in their publicity.
That facet has faded a little in the last 2 years or so, but seeing this image this morning made me smile. Maybe it’s back.

The image comes from a Saab Germany press release to do with Saab [...]
