The spectral signature of collimated bipolar jets have been discovered on high resolution spectra of Hen 3-1341 during the 1999 outburst, the first ever recorded for this symbiotic star. The jets show up as emission components at DeltaRV = 820 km/sec on both sides of the main emission lines. They were not present in quiescence. As a general rule for the jets from stellar objects, also those in Hen 3-1341 come together with evidence of mass loss via wind (strong P-Cyg profiles).
