On June 29, 1987, an SR-71 Blackbird, launched from RAF Mildenhall, UK, was flying a northern course, at 75,000 feet and Mach 3.0, when its right engine exploded. In order to manage the emergency, the aircrew immediately turned towards Sweden, rapidly descending. Sweden's Air Defense radar that was tracking the aircraft asked two Saab JA 37 Viggen jets to intercept the intruder. The Swedish jets ended up escorting the SR-71 until the they reached the Danish airspace, saving the pilots and the aircraft.
