The JAS-39C 'Gripen', a multirole fighter aircraft made in Sweden. JAS means "Jakt", "Attack", "Spaning" in Swedish which in turns translates to "Hunt", "Attack", "Reconnaissance". It's one of my favorite aircrafts, somewhat biased as i live in Sweden.

It's built in a simple yet detailed way to match the default art of simpleplanes.
