    Denmark approves Swedish fighter design

    Feb. 23, 2006
    The Gripen DK fighter aircraft has been cleared for takeoff in the competition to replace Denmark's aging fleet of F-16s.

    South Africa's first Gripen fighter aircraft takes off from Saab's test-flight facility at Linkoping, Sweden.

    Adapted to meet Royal Danish Air Force requirements, the Swedish-built fighter is based on the proven C and D-versions being flown by NATO.

    "When the day comes for Denmark to replace its aging F-16s, we see the Gripen as an excellent replacement, as the aircraft is very capable, operationally proven in service, and the most cost-effective solution," says Johan Lehander, managing Director for Gripen International.
