Gripen i Sydafrika

[Thomas Åkerblad]

Intressant artikel från Flight International

"The SAAF is acquiring a force of 26 Swedish-built Saab Gripen C and D model fighters, the last four of which are due to be handed over this month. The Gripen has replaced the Dassault Mirage III-derived indigenous Atlas Cheetah C and D fighters, but because of financial constraints, the SAAF has been unable to fully utilise its new aircraft. Pilots are simply not getting the hours they need to maintain their proficiency in the Gripen, but efforts are under way to try to rectify that."

Vidare diskuteras planer på en internationell Gripen-skola i Sydafrika.
