Saab Gripen for FSX/FS2004

This was an aircraft that was made for military purposes in various formats, and was made for use whether it was raining or snowing.

As far as aviation designs go, this was first released to replace the old-school J-37 Viggen and to give it a more modern and effective outlook. It surpassed its brother in every single fashion, offering a faster yet smaller and sleeker equivalent to fly around in. The new model itself utilizes the excellent fourth-gen military aviation technology, creating a hugely efficient aircraft that is sure to be a lot of fun to fly.

It comes with an augmented turbofan engine and is managed by an all-digital, fly-by-wire control pack as well as canard wing control surfaces. It was a vital part of Swedish military aviation, and established them as a key player within the NATO circles - it's capable of carrying just about all ordnance asked of it, making it a truly valuable and effective war craft.

It really does make the perfect ally to have out there on the battlefield, and with this download you can now see why the Saab model is so well respected - if you've never flown Swedish aviation before, you'll wonder why after using this!
