Brazil Air Force very first Saab JAS39E Gripen for the Força Aerea Brasileira (FABr, Brazil Air Force) was seen recently with Saab AB at Linköping-Vårdsberg.

The Gripen, in Brazil named the F-39 is registered 4100. The aircraft is currently undergoing installation of the avionics, auxiliary power unit, engine, radar, canards, canopy, and windshield.

The Brazilian Gripen NG (Next Generation) programme called for two prototypes, a single-seat to be finished in July 2019 and a two-seat aircraft, to be finished in October 2021. That planning slipped a bit, and the first flight is now to take place somewhere this month.
