What ? No Rafale for French Air Force ?

A current project with a background which, I hope for it, will be nice.

SAAB-Dassault Griffon C01

Interesting - you tease!!!

Oooooo jet black.  Sleek and sexy.  Looking forward to more pics.  The side-hinge canopy is equally interesting.

Given, I believe it is a French "Saab Gripen", the side hinging canopy isn't that odd - though I do believe our friend has switch sides for the access:

In fact, access sides have been inverted (because us, Frenchies, we invert everything  )

At last, a Gripen suitable for a Gentleman! As everyone should know pilots should mount their planes from the same side you climb aboard your horse in grand old Cavalry tradition!

Gripen in the jet black of a Rafale prototype? Should look sexy! Don't forget to stick some orange/day-glo MICAs on it!

Hum... I'm sorry, you forget something! As we, French, inveted everything (a friend of mine claim the same for Australia but never prove his point), it's obviously the reste of the world who invert everything!!
That does make sense! 


Whatever, très joli projet, j'attends la suite avec impatience!! Un petit Gripen naval pour notre CDG??

I like that idea. Possibly cooperate with the Royal Navy, who will undoutably try to invert everything...

[PolluxDeltaSeven]

Hell yeah, good idea!

As far as one fly on the right side of the road, of course!

Which would be a real problem if the Royal Navy and the French Navy began excising these Gripens together, operating from small roads in forests like the Swedes do...

[Slerski]

Oh my...

Thanks for the ideas chaps !! I've two Gripen waiting (maybe one for Royal Navy and the other one for the new Wahlneckian Air Defence Force  )

Must remember to post my RN Gripen as well.

Beautiful project!  Though I doubt Dassault would willingly associate with another company, especially to promote a design that wasn't theirs...

+1

Never Dassault will work with another company. I think that "SAAB Griffon C" sounds better. But sometime, it's necessary to have a dream 

I wanted to put some pictures tonight but the Griffon was damaged during the transfert from Châteaudun AFB to my secret proving ground. Hope it'll be better tomorrow...
