Go on Bob,
Give us a summary... maybe on another thread?
You can start by shooting down my thinking - which was a get a unit of Gripens that sit between Valley and the Typhoon/F-35s OCUs.
First short tour is to get lots of air time in the Gripen and build up 'real' experience levels on a cheap(er) platform - also Gripen of course has an excellent war role.
