My father was probably the most patriotic guy I've ever known lol. I'm talking full suit with the flag printed on it & white Adidas😂. He may be a patriot, but he was still a player🤣, ah Mr Seale, you are missed😔
For the Gripen, you need around 7 to 8 years. This includes training, qualification and flying experience on other planes(ie. PC-7, +-400 hours on the Hawk fighter jet), AND IF you're one of the best you can get a chance to fly the Gripen.

It may not be the most advance fighter in the world but it's damn awesome Swedish engineering marvel.
Ian Mclean the Gripen haven’t seen any combat yet but F-16 is legend

Where must the money come from to upgrade.
Are the Gripens available for loan?
Did you really just ask that? These are 300 million rand aircraft, you think you can loan one?

Nice video. We need more of such
If only all of our aircraft were airworthy and all of our pilots were flying at least 200 sorties a year
@Mr Chris o heretjie tog dis moer kak snaaks🤣
@Mr Chris You made my fucken day! I'm giggling like a school girl cos I'm watching youtube at work!!
Is that the one airworthy aircraft with a full fuel tank.
We were proud of the SAAF pre 1994.
That is no longer the case and this video is a fraud.
What a joke 😂😂😂😂
