Well I dug out the old 2k2 Grippen, and the only problem I have is the U/C not showing, otherwise still a damn fine aircraft. So off on dawn patrol 8)

Filthy weather for flying

A nice day once you get above the weather Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Glad to be of service Craig. Hopefully next year I'll be getting to see a lot more of these for real as Hungary is getting a load to replace their Mig-29s Sad

Grippen?
You probably mean SAAB JAS-39 Gripen?
Grip is swedish for Griffin

Sweet pics nonetheless!

Fine plane. Fits perfectly into the family of great swedish airplanes,such as the Draken or Viggen (my favourite). 8)

Boeing its the new Saab multi-role fighter. I saw the demonstration model flying last year at the Hungarian national airshow, and frankly my lower jaw was in the grass whilst I was watching it!!! Its gorgeous, looks good, and sounds better than anything any rock band has managed 8) 8) 8) 8)
