Too bad the JAS39 A/B Gripens are retired :-(
This slintercamo looks great on the Gripen too!

What's going to happen with the A and B version? they are not THAT old at all... (first operational use was 1996)...

So they have been in active service for nearly 16/17 years, plenty of life left in these pretty little birds i think? (good solution for the bridge time for our F-16 being replaced with the "Je Suis Fantasy" F-35 Mk.35 (because there are still alot of problems with it) :S
