With the choice of Switzerland to buy 22 x Gripens to replace its F-5E/F fleet, is anybody interested
to produced a "What If / Most probable" repaint of it for the AlphaSim JAS-39 for both FS9 and FSX
formats ?

Zsotlquack ?

Two Tone grey typical "Swiss F-5E" camo scheme
Well positionned red and white Swiss Cross roundels
Large Red Trilingual Ejection Seat warning triangle
Specific Swiss stencils

and

correct size and "most probable" codes.

F-5E/F being coded "J-30xx"
F-18C/D being coded "J-50xx"

the most logical codes for the JAS-39 would probably be :

J-7001 to J-7022

Here is a "What if Photo" from Gripen International

Thanks in advance !

I think,as Austrian,that Swiss did a far more clever deal then the Austrian Military-->but thats was political anyway.

If you are in mid of Europe,sorrounded by NATO countries(apart Austria) and still have F-18,why you would spend that much excess money

But just my 2 cents
