UK´s Empire Test Pilots´ School uses the Gripen. The Swedes flew with USAF in RED FLAG exercise a while back and they (F-15 or 16 I think) couldn't touch them because of their EWS... They also kicked some serious F-16 ass in Norway a wee while back....8)
The Gripen could also carry the same ordnance(?) like the USAF fighters....
Also, isn't the Eurofighter a "airbase only" aircraft?
