No problem, thanks for your reply.

If all goes as planned the fighter should be about to land on het homebase again in The Netherlands.

All eight swedish Gripens already returned to Sweden last week.

[hammarö]

The Suedes returned in two batches. One over Bangor and one over Offutt. The dates?

[Rubberneck]

The Suedes returned in two batches. One over Bangor and one over Offutt. The dates?

4 Gripen departed Nellis on Monday 4th (along with RCH051 KC10 83-0079) and night stopped at Bangor before departing to Lajes on Tuesday 5th. A rest day then off home on Thursday 7th.

The other 4 Gripen also departed Nellis on Monday 4th (along with RCH061 KC10 87-0118) but due to technical issues diverted to Offutt before continuing on to Bangor. Due to more technical problems they didn't depart to Lajes until Wednesday 6th and after a rest day departed Lajes on Friday 8th.

see the Swedish Air Force blog - blogg.forsvarsmakten.se/flygvapenbloggen/

does anybody have the serial tie ups for each flight of Gripens? The callsign for the first flight was SVF Q01 - 04. I'm assuming the 2nd flight was SVF Q05 - 08
