In the middle of a roundabout there is a real Draken, which the city of Tulln received from the Aviation Division.

The Draken with the number 17 was put into service by the Swedish Air Force on January 12, 1965 with Saab serial number "35368". The supersonic aircraft were then delivered to Austria after 23 years with the identification "17" on the tail unit. Ten years later, a mistake in maintenance work abruptly ended "No. 17" 's active career. The fuel had been pumped out without opening the tank vents first. The resulting vacuum caused an implosion - a total loss! It has been decorating the roundabout since October 2002.
