There are no private Viggen's as far as i know...especially not in US. There are few Draken's, used as school aircrafts for training deep stalls at test-pilot school in US.
'Bout taking off from the road, yepp, they are made to take off from ill-prepared dirt-strips and ordinary roads, hence the powerfull engine. They can take off in 400 meters in reheat, thanx to canards.
We are talking F4D-class aircraft here, but with even bigger engine (was actually most powerful single-engine AC in the world)...i don't think "Flygvapnet" sold any to private persons (yet)
I actually saw wonderful display just one month ago with a Viggen. Tech's even run basic check for us spectators...
It's one of few remaining "lot's of thrust" -aircrafts...
