WELCOME
Welcome to my privately run, unofficial website on the South African Air Force. It is maintained by myself during my (limited) spare time so please read the Terms of Use.

Gripen Test Flights
SAAB Gripen - Multi-Role Fighter
The SAAF has 26 Gripens on order, comprising 17 single-seaters and nine two-seaters. The first Gripen D was accepted by the SAAF in April 2008, with deliveries continuing at regular intervals until the final Gripen C is delivered in 2012. It will join 2 Squadron at AFB Makhado (formerly Louis Trichardt), replacing the Cheetah Cs/Ds which were retired in April 2008.
