1992

In 1992, the Swedish Government decided to order the second batch of Gripens and also launched development of the two-seat version, a small number of which were to be among the 110 aircraft in this batch.

Also in 1992, the Gripen visited a Swedish Air Force base for the first time. The base, F7 Wing at Såtenäs, was destined to become home for the first two Gripen squadrons.
