What do you make of Czech Gripens recording more than 30,000 flight hours in fifteen years?
Short answerThe figure is considered plausible for a reliable aircraft, and the flying time across fourteen airframes is taken to suggest well-trained pilots.
NotesA viewer reports more than 30,000 flight hours over fifteen years for fourteen Czech Gripens. The figure is accepted as plausible because Gripen is considered a reliable aircraft. Accumulating that flying time across such a small fleet is also taken to suggest well-trained pilots. The training judgment depends on the reported fleet total and flight hours.
