Dazzling Gripen - full 9-minute display Cosford 2019

Thrilling performance in the SAAB JAS-39C Gripen by the Czech Air Force demonstrating how graceful and maneuverable this jet is at high speed.
The plane is in a special Tiger livery to mark 100 years of the Vzdušné síly Armády České republiky (Air Component of the Army of the Czech Republic) and operated by 211. Taktická Letka (Tiger Squadron).

Five minutes in and I'm thinking, "this is some of the best camera work I've seen of an aircraft display. No cuts, smooth." Excellent filming! Kudos! There are a couple of moments, at distance, where the focus is not perfectly there, but thats is it. Bloody well done!

[@flugsnug]

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.

[@jimvandemoter6961]

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.

Strange how Sweden knocks together a stunning, cheap and effective combat aircraft, when the EU produces the Typhoon II, looking like an Airfix model built by a geezer after 12 pints at the pub with the football club.

[@LIKWID]

The Typhoon is a brilliant combat system now, after years of development it's a very capable platform. Also when you have so many countries developing one jet everyone has their own needs from an aircraft which might not be identical to other forces. The Gripen was designed by the Swedes for the Swedes, it's designed for everything they want and need in a very effective way in terms of cost.

[@SuperHurtman]

@@LIKWID It turns out that a lot of other countries share that philosophy.. Cheap, durable and still in the air while the rest are in the hangars for maintenance. Oh, and it has "shot down" both F-22s and F-35s. Apparently the NATO pilots found it very uncomfortable to battle with the JAS.

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.

[@abrahkadabra9501]

@@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.

There's a video somewhere here on KZbin 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 KZbin 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.
