Good Deal! We had a Danish student in UPT --- said he hoped to get a Drakken, but might have to settle for the F-104, poor guy.
I heard a presentation about deep-stall training in the Drakken by NTPS instructor Greg Lewis. As I recall, you had to stop the rotation with induced drag from the elevons, and break the stall with pitch-rocking. Meanwhile, you were dropping like Thor's hammer.
