Dazzling Gripen - full 9-minute display Cosford 2019 

Thank you! Focus was set at manual and not changed during the display, so any apparent blurring at distance is probably due to turbulent air on a mid-summer day.

Agreed. The camera work was almost flawless. As someone who's photographed the Blue Angels Those canard winglets give it a totally different handling characteristic. As someone who's photographed the Blue Angels as a freelancer I can attest to how hard it is.

@@flugsnug I had attended many airshows, watch many videos filmed during such shows, try it myself, but compliments to you. This is the best I had ever seen in my life. Brilliant work. Outstanding. Greetings. By the way, that pilot can fly !!!

Greetings, and very kind comments. The pilot put on a brilliant show!

Yes, it is like is unreal. And the fighter is amazing in the hands of a good pilot.

Before that, we had "Tunnan" and "Lansen". Also very good ones for their time !!!

They also made the SAAB which was a good car until GM bought them out.

I was an exchange student in Halmstad, Sweden, in the early 80s. Viggens would thunder overhead on exercises all the time. Like sharp triangular darts in twos and threes in perfect formation. I remember thinking to myself: Do not mess with this country, Mr. Brezhnev!

@@agedflier9129 GM has proven to be the automotive kiss of death. I'm amazed at how Sweden builds their own jets with a population of around 10 million and Australia, with double that, hardly has any manufacturing industry at all anymore.

@@agedflier9129 Good cars but dismal sales. Can't really blame GM for that part.

Absolutely. Hope Canada complements it fleet with Gripen, that would be awesome.

some assembly may be required

I don't think this jet suits our country We need something like a F15 Gripen is absolutely awesome But it has a short range and Canad a has a big landscape F35 would be good if it gets cheaper

@@benzz4109 Honestly, with combination of Canada's size, population and other factors you need combo: "cheap" aircraft to be present and high endurance one - typical high-low, e.g 2 squadrons of F-15X and 3-4 of Gripens.

@@piotrd.4850 true

maybe you must see Sukoi 30

:):)

I enjoyed it exactly because it wasn't perfect and you can see the plane acting "alive" though...

No, - no Trish they even removed the pilot to lighten the load, (strip it down and go max).

truth agree with you

Cheap planes.

@@gcarter1973 Grow up. The cost is close to 100 million us dolars per plane to Brazil. Its a high tech masterpiece. Not like russian planes that are good for airshows, but got destroyed by IAF for almost 70 years.

@@verdi2310 they are cheap basic fighter that's why Brazil has bought them but at least they are better than the rubbish they had before.

@@gcarter1973 always evolve, Brazil is not located in the middle east, we are not in conflict with any other country, but we are currently the largest in south america, and we are always evolving

Like a carving knife. No belly gliding there...

Good one eh! LMFAO!

12g if you’re really angry.

Wouldn't you rather ask the top guns in the RCAF what they think is a fighter aircraft?

Horatio Jones it doesn’t matter what they want because this Regressive Socialist Liberals is planning on purchasing the cheapest or used aircraft. If you knew anything about this Griffin you will observe it has the cheapest price and one of the fewest wrench times for most front line fighters. Plus Saab has been building fighters for a very demanding environment for decades. Something both Canada and Sweden share. So before replying with a smart ass comment please do some homework first.

@@sqr2024 What are you getting so defensive about? Don't you think a seasoned fighter pilot would know just a little bit more about fighter aircraft than you? Are you some kind of expert on this subject that nobody heard about? And how did politics get into this? The hilarious part of your comment is that you're screaming at me to do my research and yet you offer no links or any kind of data of your own. 😂 It looks like you're afraid of simple questions so I'll leave you alone with your imaginary degrees in aerospace. Have a nice Canada day! ☺

@@abrahkadabra9501 From what I was seeing in the news the RCAF brass wants a 5th gen fighter (the F-35) but the Liberals don't want to pay for it (not that they should pay for that overpriced f-16 with stealth coating),The Gripen is still just a 4th gen with modern amenities, Unlike true 4.5+ gen fighters like the Typhoon and Super Hornet block 3. Knowing the political interference that USA will strong arm Canada into buying American. So realistically the race is between Super Hornet and Lighting, with MAYBE a chance for typhoon. I for one hope if we go with Super Hornet we get the block 3 version and not do an idiots cop-out and get block 2.

@@austinflavio3457 Well that's a reasonable post to my question and I agree with you for the most part. The only point I'd have to make as a casual observer is that technology is moving so fast these days that technological obsolescence is increasing in speed and fighter aircraft are not immune from this. Stealth aircraft are running the danger of being obsolete overnight the day Quantum Radar is operational. China, USA, France, Italy and probably more nations are throwing their names in the ring for the first one to make this happen. So where does that leave the easily detectable aircraft like the 4.5 Gen fighter like the Gripen? New SAMs available today (like the S-400) and in development make 4.5 Gen aircraft very vulnerable no matter how good they are. But because I don't have the kind of knowledge a NATO chief of staff has about tactical weapons I'm really just speculating like all the fanboys here.

Gripen can pull - 3g to +9g in a sec. 38degree turnrate. Average us F turns like 22-25, pointing down. I agree with you, a beautiful flying.

There's a video somewhere here on RU-vid where a (retired?) US F-16 pilot looks at video of an in-cockpit practice run of a JAS Gripen demo program. A G-meter display is inset in the video. The F-16 pilot is quite impressed in general, but when a switchover from lots of +G to several -G, in more or less an instant, he is really impressed. Definitively by the Gripen pilot, and most likely by the plane. In a follow up video the F-16 pilot interviews the Gripen demo pilot. It is refreshingly free from the pissing contests that all the "experts" in comments here on RU-vid have all the time. Just two professional fighter pilots talking about it, in mutual respect. Search them out. It will be worth the time. My memory is weak, but "F-16 pilot reacts" might be a good first attempt.

Thank you, and I try to make it as easy as possible to see what's actually happening with the aircraft.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, and yes it was well worth the wait!!!

very kind but i don't think there are any

kappa.

@@cremedelameme9906 No, it's actually true. Why don't you try to Google?

"Czech air force" kappa kappa kappa

@@cremedelameme9906 Yes, the Czech Air Force. Czech Republic is one of the 5 countries using this fighter plane. Along with Sweden, SAR, Thailand and Hungary. Just open the search engine and do your research. I believe that even you would manage that.

@@vaclavcervinka65 Great aircraft and very cost efficient. It can get airborne out of highways in just 400 meters! You can swap in a new engine within 2 hours!!! If it only had a more powerful engine like the GE 404 it would be the best single engine aircraft on the planet by far.Maybe that is the reason that Americans don't allow that installment. Same thing for Rafale. If it had the GE ENGINES OR THE EUROFIGHTER ONES IT WOULD BE THE BEST FLYING MACHINE ON THE PLANET BY FAR.

that sounds like some party!

You can send a whole pack of then for each F35 in the sky...

I loved your comment. Thank you and indeed it is.

@Ben Ghazi He's saying that for the cost of 1 F35 you get a whole pack of JAS39 Griffins and not that one F35 would kill a whole pack of JAS39 Griffins

You don't need smoke all display, but for me a bit here and there adds to the spectacle

It is not smoke. It's vapor trails generated by lift and induced drag. Depending on the conditions like temperature and humidity they some times become visible.

:):)

Thank you!

Thank you, and a pleasure.

Yes, you can bulldoze all the trees with no fear!

Audfile and where are your trees?

You know the Brazilian government is letting it happen right?

@@Audfile people simple forget the fact that the trees in europe dont exist anymore since 1800. So unless you reinvent your own long ago dead forests dont talk shit anout ours.

Except for venuzila who wants to invade brazil.

thanks, and yes its moves seem effortless when watching it live too!

Greetings and thanks!

A beefed up beast it will be, the E/F version

I hope Thailand buy the new too. I live here,and will see speed in the air.

glad you enjoyed it!

Still kinda tame compared to the good old Lansen

Yes, no normal audio system can reproduce this. Hope she's calmed down now....

Not to mention the SAAB J-37 Viggen , that aircraft is a true beast and does rip big holes in the sky as well . . . :O) .

:)

cheers!

Thank you ,and I have some in the pipeline

"czech has learned to fly the planes better then Swedes" You know it's computer controlled steering right? So you can just yank the stick as hard as you can and it doesnt go over G-limit. So no that comment is not true..

@@zoom5024 so you go and yank the stick man 😂 show us some staff, formula one ain't challenging for you too, right, it's also full of assisting computers... 😂 Hahaha

@@staccami Can you tell me what i wrote that was wrong, am i lieing?

@@zoom5024 nothing wrong, just funny, I just don't think that FBW makes flying modern fighter jet at that level sooo simple (i.e. Computer controlled, so you just yank the stick) Still its about the energy state management, perfect timing, physicalities, perfect space orientation and more staff than you can think of) . F.e. One similarity from my world of guitars : Sure playing guitar through digital modeling amp is simpler in some way vs. playing vintage tube amp, but you gotta know what you're playing and you can tell poor guitar player from very good anyway.... But sorry, my bath time is over, gotta go... 😂

Great flying ,but how do know how the swedes fly their JAS39…as I know the Swedish pilots have the record at Red Flag in USA as enemy team and that is not exhibition flying, just pure dog fight combat exercise!

Thank you, and they are at the smaller/lighter end of the fighter spectrum so are more agile but also seem to move quicker - the A380 always looks as though it's moving at slugs' pace!

Eu também.. muito lindo o nosso caça

@@valmirmoreira8941 so falou merda

Não é presente, foi comprado, e custou caro, e por sinal muito caro, presente vem de graça !

@@josejb6059 concordo que o.valor e Salgado, mas nao podemos esquecer que na.compra estão incluídos com certeza toda a logística r manutenção dos técnicos engenheiros etc ,que se encontram na Suécia a 2 anos adquirindo conhecimento para as futura montagens, provavelmente Tbem a construção e instalação da fábrica no Brasil entre outras coisas que não fazemos ideia. Mais sinceramente acho que vale pelo que essa maquina vai proporcionar ao nosso País. O mesmo se dá com os submarinos e as futuras cornetas/fragatas Tamandaré. Só espero que todo esse investimento nao seja deixado de lado após a finalização das entregas previstas, mas que sirvam para dar continuidade e manter o Brasil atualizado de agora em diante.

A aeronave já está sendo produzida aqui, o primeiro vôo do nosso Gripen já aconteceu na Suécia, até o começo do ano sai o nosso primeiro caça...

He sure is talented at what he does

9G in peacetime...wartime...the limitations are removed....

The "operates from highways" meme is not very compelling. In the real world, you cannot support combat sorties from a roadside for very long. Just picture it... tankers full of jet fuel, ground staff and racks of bombs and missiles hiding in the tree line off the side of a highway!? Makes for a cute demo I guess.

@@davidbradley8150 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MNak9lB_q00.html

@@jessejames8370 Yeah, looks great. How well would that work in a conflict? Who is going to drive all that gas around on the roads? Who is going to move all those bombs and missiles around. How will maintenance work, just set up a tent by the highway I guess? Will anyone be trying to stop them? Face it, you lose your airbases, you need to fall back to whatever is left. The roadside airforce idea won't really work past a few sorties, if that.

@@davidbradley8150 Sweden has several fuel / ammo depots spread out across the country. Just makes bombing airfields less viable.

@@davidbradley8150 Dispersing your aircraft is much better than having them sitting on the tarmac of a big bomb-magnet like an airbase. Having many small places to take off from, land and rearm/refuel at, makes it much more difficult to deal a crippling blow; Because even if you get a couple of the smaller roadside points you'll still only take out a couple of aircraft. Whereas if you manage to penetrate the defences of a large airbase you can deal a crippling blow.

thanks, and yes a great day out!

pleasure - glad you enjoyed.

@@flugsnug I wish you could make a Video at this Event in September here in Germany: oldtimer-hahnweide.de/home.php :-) I was already there at this Show, 6 times i think

too true!

Load it up for combat and pin some gas to the wings too, you are going to need it... not turning so great once you do that. Gripen internal fuel load is only good for an airshow.

pleasure!
