Reported today that a Swedish military pilot flew at 350 knots low over the heads of paratroopers near Karlsborg. He claims this was to thank them for a successful exercise, but he has now been grounded for reckless flying, and risks being thrown out of the Swedish Air Force.
The news report states that the aircraft weighed 30 tons, but that means, as far as I can tell, that it would not have been a Gripen, more like a Viggen, but there are no Viggens left in operational service.
Perhaps other Swedish members of the Forum have more information?
