Problem is, is anything can happen between now and 2016 still got 33 months for the Swiss. Or a miracle can happen and have the world's first Grippen display team. Who knows maybe Saab / BAe may sponsor them along with Breitling.

Speaking of which the Breitling team with their Aero L39 jets are still going strong (yes I know they're a private enterprise). Had the privilege of looking at their Blue Angels style paintwork copied jets on the static at le Bourget 2 years ago parked by the Lockheed Constellation.

Back to topic at hand - whats going down with the Reds, any more updates?
If all goes well then would we be looking at an all T2 equipped by 2015?

Cheers
