A sword award should plausibly be given for fencing like proficiency and the Gripen certainly has more of that with its fast repositionings than the legacy Hornet that is able to do hard turns but ends up nose up and in need of recovery afterwards. The Mig 21 could be given an award for "successful operation" (given it's age and demands on the pilot).

Superb camera work 👍👍👍😎😎😎

Beautiful jet and hugely capable but was the criteria for the Sword a whole bunch of aileron rolls?

[@Gripenace]

This is love!

[@AvroBellow]

This is the plane that Canada should select. The F-35 and F/A-18E just aren't as suited to airspace defence.

By far should've been the Finish F/A-18, AV8Bs or Mig 21 not this! A good dislay tho
