Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Saab Gripen Demonstrator 39-7 for the Swiss AirForce ??

Post by leok »

During the show on Axalp/Ebenfluh, the Saab 39 Gripen serial 39-7, startet from Emmen for his show and Prasentation to the Swiss people. In spite of the offers from Eurofighter its look like that this Plane is the favourite for the Swiss Air Force ?? And now I am waiting on the decision of the Dutch Gouverment

Read in a magazine (I think it was airforces monthly) that the Swiss have confirmed to buy Gripens to replace the F-5's.

Thank for your pictures. The favourite of SwissAF (and the pilots) is the Rafale, but politicians decided to buy the Gripen. The swedish parlament will decide in Dezember to buy 40-60 Gripen E. Afterwards the swiss parlament has to decide on March and June 2013 and if the swiss people say "yes" ( half-year 2014) the jets are definitely coming between 2018-2021. But until then it is still a long way.
