Seeing ETP99 QQ101 heading off towards Linkoping this morning causes me to ask if the ETPS hours on the Gripen are flown in Sweden or is an aircraft flown back to Boscombe?

Did you know that registration to Fighter Control is completely free and brings you lots of added features? Find out more....

ETPS Gripen time?
Sometimes I talk to myself, then we both laugh and laugh.
Re: ETPS Gripen time?
Usually done in Sweden, I think there's only one occasion that one has been brought to the UK?
Re: ETPS Gripen time?
Would that occasion have coincided with the RIAT visit?

It's been based at Boscombe Down before for a short time. Saw it low level over the house once on its way to Aberporth which was an unexpected surprise!

I've seen it at BDN a few years back,it's certainly not regular over here.
May the skies be clear and blue and the wind fair with a guiding star to steer by.
