[@Sonko142]

Nice to see some real flying and not just PR material and Airshows. Very beautiful pictures of the Icelandic landscape. Also the paint on the canards and tail fin is a nice touch. Also thanks for the patrolling gotta keep dem sky's safe!

[@adamwsaxe]

Thank you men and women of the Czech AF!

[@btkab]

Beautiful footage, with a sweet touch of humour in the comments. Love seeing our Swedish fighters in action with the Czech AF (though rental aircraft, Swedish S/N 39239 etc.).

[@96tomms123]

Thank you for your service and hope you like the airplane :)

[@thomasakerberg6765]

Deep respect, thank you for your service! Beautiful capture btw! :)

[@CallsignJoNay]

Beautiful Gripens!

[@Zerebox2015-2020]

Callsign: JoNay They are the most beatiful planes on earth :D!

[@richardmrazek6937]

Tak díky kluci a ať vás i tento rok zpátky přiletí tolik, kolik vás odletí!

[@SuperGamli]

Awsome stuff! Would love the feeling of freedom you must get when piloting a thing like that in a nice area.

[@torfaerutrolli]

Thank you.

[@cejkiscejkis8037]

Unnþór Helgi Helgason Czech government approved the request of the NATO for air policing mission in Iceland in terms of 07-08 / 2015.Czechs will back.

[@petter5721]

Gripen is so easy to service and support. You can change the engine in the field in just about one hour!

[@johnsaetre7071]

This sounds astonishing, but i have heard conscripts (one) tell they were changing the engine in the old J32 Lansen in the field in just the same time. It really looks like the standard for Swedish Air Force.

[@marciocosta6770]

Jeg er brasilianer, jeg liker Norge. gratulerer med videoen. veldig vakkert nordlys.

[@RizVPeter]

Stunning video! I was wondering what's the maximum allowed height of a Gripen pilot?

[@MAarshall]

If I understand it correctly Iceland does not have a standing army, which makes their NATO membership quite unique.

Luv u all...from malaysia

[@KaptenMacTavish]

Nice to see!

[@evaldasevaldas4861]

Well done

[@amitroiu]

ha... somebody used the Commandos 3 soundtrack

[@DrJAFox]

Very nice. The JAS-39 seems to be a very well-thought out air system. I am sure Brazil will do well with their 100 or so. With Russia acting up like the Cold War should be restarted, policing the skies in Europe is so important.

[@peterlukac8458]

Great!

[@alexanderzheliazkov6984]

3 airplanes and 66 people on the last picture. Does it take that much to operate and fly?

[@majure42]

Short answer,no. A big part is probably Islandic base personal that operates the airbase. Check Janes defence report here. Lowest maintenance of all fighters. www.stratpost.com/gripen-operational-cost-lowest-of-all-western-fighters-janes

[@letecmig]

Alexander Zheliazkov Cz Air Force sent 50 people to Island. Modern jets are complex operation , from the maintenance of machines, to armament to operating ground facilities. Saying that, 10 or 15 planes would need same number of people to operate. There is just a 'fixed cost' in terms of people you need.

[@onlypeaceindeath]

I know it's a over three year old comment, but anyway. Sweden participated in Red Flag 2006 with 7 Gripen fighters and 90 people, which included 12 pilots, 35 maintenance technicians and the rest were forward air controllers and security. So you wouldn't need 66 to operate 3 Gripen.

[@olafurmikaelsson4794]

@@majure42 those are all cz personal

[@evaldasevaldas4861]

F...king amazing job man 🙂

[@AvroBellow]

Can there be any doubt that this is the plane that Canada should choose? I want so badly to see 200+ JAS-39E Super Gripens with RCAF roundels on them!!! WTF is my government doing getting those shitty "Super Hornets" instead of these as interim fighters?

[@mikeclark6001]

I agree! Preferably built under licence here in Canada.

[@patrickroos739]

Very nice!!

[@vorosgellert5606]

So the Czech air force has 14 gripens like Hungary does but Czechos also protect Iceland. Thats very generous Edit: yeah we huns protect Slovenia but its closer and smaller

[@johnsteppleton7756]

Well, Hungary did air police iceland both in 2015 and this year.

[@oliverterebessy]

Late answer but the Hungarian "birds" also do air policing regularly in the Baltic states with other air forces like the Spanish or the RAF. ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpexYZenjMeLZ6M

[@sorennilsson9742]

They planes must have become spoilt own house, a gigantic landing strip, enormus areas to play in. I wonder if they were to pampered, they are not used to that level of luxury.

[@bbaaaalll]
