Lovely! 6 is stunning!

Any idea what the Orange band on the Gripens nose is?

just noticed that the Italian KC767 is MM62228. It seems to me that this is the only one ever seen anywhere. I have seen a MMI KC767 3 times, always MM62228. This is the second time in the last couple of weeks I have seen photos of a MMI KC767 and guess what, both were of MM62228!

Has anyone any photosof any of the others as I seem to doubt whether any of the other 3 ever fly anywhere???

Great images as usual! I guess Gripen 250 is a test aircraft as it is covered in reference marks for air to air recording of launches etc.In fact two JAS39s are marked the same and both have their IFR probes extended, refueling trials with the KC767 maybe?

Gripen just looks so right tooled up with AMRAAMs!

Nellis,
6 and 7 supported the Far East Typhoon deployment from Leuchars and 9 was one of 3 that supported the Italian Iceland QRA TDY earlier this year.
