So Beautiful Aircraft and so god pilot, probable the most graceful fighter jet ever produced.

[@MrTimodon]

Its so fucking beatiful machine!

[@henrikfriberg5410]

Nice and smooth, very good video. The plane, the noise, the clouds.. beautiful and dramatic.

[@janileivo5100]

Thank you very much, glad you liked it👍

[@hansmalm2801]

I remember in the early -90s the talk in Sweden about "we don't need this" "it's too expensive" "it's not good enough". Here we are, 30+ years later, and it's still flying around just as up-to-date and dangerous as any other war machine around.

[@janileivo5100]

Yes, the Gripen is a tough fighter. The Nordic countries have strong air forces.

[@briandansson]

Remember that the JAS 39 Gripen was called the world's most expensive snowplow by those who didn't want this fine aircraft.

[@michaelalsterin3061]

@@briandansson It was actually called the worlds most expensive rotary cultivator😜

Jag är fortfarande lite bitter. Or as they say in english, I'm still a little bitter.

Vänta efter Ukraina-Kriget så kommer alla F-16 och F-18 skrotas, anledningen är att dessa plan designades utifrån att ett flygfält alltid är i perfekt kondition.... Så ser inte det verkliga kriget ut. Svenskarna hade rätt med sitt luftförsvars-doctrin

[@veliuotila]

Looking at the real life data, capabilities and abilities, no.
4th gen + is still soundly 4th gen and no matter how you look at it, generational upgrades on all accounts truly matter.

@@veliuotila F-35, mission capable only 50% of the time.

[@Echoes-]

I guess they would have bought Gripen if it was today, but it was before Sweden and Finland was in NATO.

[@Thunder_6278]

The Gripen - e is now the gold standard for fighter planes, direct competitor with the F-16.

[@steveroos6821]

Oh that sound at 4:54

[@janileivo5100]

Great voice, I have previously published a video of that `phiu` moment. th-cam.com/users/shortsm0wJjl2E49U?si=882-xwqWTkgm3szv

[@HenkeEdge]

Pretty cool but not as good as an old "Draken" flyby.

[@kjellmarkstrom6178]

Jas 39C Gripen. Hördes när han drog på på tjutet låg höjd😊

[@YvonnePettersson-v6m]

It makes me proud to be a swede!

Meanwhile from the pilot's earbuds: Vikingarna - Leende guldbruna ögon🎶

[@janileivo5100]

😂😂🤣

[@timessix8434]

Nicely filmed! The negative climb after take off is new, I believe?

[@janileivo5100]

Thanks, glad you liked the video👍

[@nitinat8181]

Gripen You have to prove yourself in Asia if you want to continue. You have to do your best by delivering it to Thailand.
