48 Joint Strike Fighter planes to Norway

It should be noted that Norway passed on the EF-2000 Eurofighter when they chose to go with the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II.

Here are a few links for the F-35 Lightning II:

Yeah, thanks!


P.S. Just to get my two cents in on recent political developments here in the USA: I don't think the "change pitcher" warming up in the "bullpen" is anywhere near half as liberal as many of his supporters hope, or his detractors fear. Looks to me like he's just another very savvy politician, probably a little smarter than most, maybe even possessing half a measure more scruples, and on his way to the next election. We might think about what John Wayne said after Kennedy was elected president in 1960: "I didn't vote for him but he's my president, and I hope he does a good job."

Yes, and also the JAS Gripen. Eurofighter didn't make it to the 'final', which was a battle between JAS Gripen and JSF.. both great planes, but quite different.
