Sitting on the ramp at CYYJ at the moment are three ex-Swedish AF Hunters. According to the register they belong to the Northern Lights Team (C-GIVT,IVX,JMP). Are they putting together a display team or just for resale ?
What a sight that would be :)

Northern Lights has won the DND airboune training services contract. The Hunters have been recently been flying for Naval radar and Anti ship missile defence system calibration.Appearently Norhern Lights ended up with Hunters because of their low level high speed capability.

Flew a jolly in the Hunters the Royal Navy once used for the Thursday wars in the English Channel.
From the grin I had from ear to ear pretending to be an exocet missile running at a ship I would say the Northern Lights made a good purchase.
On that note anybody know the address for a resumes
Never New the Sweds had that Machine in the past though thought they just used stuff made by Saab.
