Saab celebrates first flight of Thai fighter
Thailand's first of at least six Saab Gripen C/Ds has made its first flight from the Swedish manufacturer's Linköping facility.
Flown by a Saab test pilot, the two-seat Gripen D completed its 80min debut sortie on 16 September.
"The Royal Thai Air Force will start their training on Gripen in Sweden next year, and the fighters will be delivered to Thailand in 2011," says Saab.
