"Drömflygplan! Drar runt kärran i några loopingar från 220 km/t utan att trycka före". - Erik Bratt 1945, konstruktör
"Det här var den roligaste och mest lättflugna kärra jag flugit. Den rollar ju själv för bara skevroder". - Richard Köhnke 1945, trafikflygare
"I avancerad flygning är flygplanet synnerligen vändbart och lättmanövrerat. Looping kan utföras direkt från planflykt. Flygplanet kan dras upp med sporren i marken utan att det viker sig". - Assar Svensson 1945, Luftfartsmyndighetens provflygare
"60 hästkrafter och 257 km/t - det gör man inte nuförtiden". - Erik Bratt, 2010, Saab 35 Drakens huvudkonstruktör

"This aircraft is a dream to fly. I was able to loop it directly from level flight at 132 mph without having to dive to gain entry speed". - Erik Bratt 1945, the designer
"This is the easiest and best handling plane that I have yet flown. It can be rolled using just aileron control". - Richard Köhnke 1945, airline pilot
"The aircraft is extremely agile, and light on the controls in aerobatics. It can be looped from straight and level. It can even take off without stalling with the tail wheel still on the ground". - Assar Svensson 1945, the Civil Aviation Authority test pilot
"Getting 155 mph out of just 60 hp: no-one else is doing that now". - Erik Bratt 2010, Saab 35 Draken lead designer
