35 000 people at the Textron cannot be wrong.
I think Fiaf needs these.

I read the captain having said they are flying the oldest aircraft of the US AF. One implied it was 60 years old Hercules ?
Any pilot could glide a plane…so there has to be something wrong with the propellors ( or engines ). Feathering system kaputt ?
Has the cause been found yet ?
X-32B
best ever
Defence minister Jussi Niinistö is openly of the opinion that Finland should occupy the areas that Finland lost in WW II…which sounds a bit…out of the known foreign policy around here….wonder if they made him the Rorschach test ??
Topspeed has got his medication wrong again. I wonder how long it takes before he is kicked out of this forum, like he has been from every military and aviation forum in his native Finland.
Yes and thanks to your kinda a-holes who have nothing to offer on these sites but ranting….and DDR kinda informant bahaviour.
I always thought that the performance of JA 37 has always been somehow underrated.
I don’t think it was..it was always the beast fighter aircraft at its time.
I cannot see why we need more than 10 planes for border patrolling the east border…as they are our old friends the russkies…well they do attack their neighbours to keep their soldiers busy time to time but still…they always have a good sounding reason for it…well Hitler sorta did that too, but he was insane in the membrane I recall.
I have switched from fighter aeroplanes to VAWT wind turbines ( I even have 2 prototypes )..as we have to go electric soon. But had I be given 10 billions I would have delivered a seventh generation superfighter…hundreds of them.
ANEW from Poland delivers H-darrieus turbines that exceed Betz’s limit by 18%. My innovation makes that a self starting ( without electricity ) when on 2-blades when it is even 15% more efficient than a 3-blader ( ANEW has only those ).
Why there has been put so much money for that deal 7-10 billions ….F-35s only costs 5 billion and Gripens 3,4 billions ?
Country is the worst economical situation ever and “we” wanna spent all available assets to promote foreign weaponmakers ???
Ok….here is a good chance for all to correct their misconceptions they receive in the internet.
I bet the 53 million a piece vs 125 million a piece price tag is also faulty and the fact that Saab said they can guarantee the 8 billion euros for 64 Gripens will also cover the maintenance for 30 years.
I would call it a sensation if they shoot 10 F-35 out of 10…too.
It works for me…it has expired but tells the content.
The latter is not. It was previously up there.
A Swedish aviation expert compares the F-35 and Gripen E:

They claim they won 10 outa 10.

India Rafale fan pours **** on Gripen..is there a single correct statement ?
Gripen topspeed is nearly 300kts faster than F-35. No wonder Royal AF has’em too.
