BTW, have you seen this?

The Gripen NG is no bare-bones bargain fighter like the F-5. It has all the modern avionics, datalinks, and other bells and whistles of the top Western jets.

Good can it get from Greenwood to Bagtown with weapons , alternate aerodromes are far and few between . Canada needs a twin engined aircraft with reasonable range with weapons . Its a long trek to Inuvik or Frobisher from Bagtown or Cool Pool. Its a point I'm fairly familiar with as I've worked in the ATC enviroment at all the CAF fighter bases save Bagotville
