    Very nice. It was always impressive that Sweden could make their own Fighter Aircraft.

    Despite the extended Range, does it meet the Canadian Forces Range requirements?

    Sweden:
    A population of 9 million;
    A GDP of $400 billion;

    Canada:
    A population of 33 million;
    A GDP of $ 1.5 trillion;

    Tell me again why the Swedes can do this and we cannot?

    I'm kinda curious where they got the price of the F-35...I have a somewhat older report on what to replace the Hornet and I think the price they stated is kinda excessive. Of course I don't have access to a "recent US government report"
