Saab Commander Quiz Combat

In 2013 Saab Thailand announced a Quiz Combat where combatants could win a full day at Defense & Security 2013, fly the Gripen fighter jet simulator and take away Saab merchandise.

It was an opportunity to Thailand’s defense enthusiasts to become a “Saab Commander” by proving their mettle by seeking honors at three different levels: ‘Level Amateur’, ‘Level Professional’ and ultimately ‘Level Ace’.

I was staying in Maui for a year of sea turtle research when this site appeared online. All my friends were playing the game hoping to win the big prize, but happy if they just won some Saab merchandise. Meanwhile I was spending all day working with a research team from the Hawaii Wildlife Fund either snorkeling or scuba diving as we tracked green sea turtles. I would return to my fav waterfront condo rental in Maui in the town of Napili Bay. What a great find this was. I worked with a local company called Maui Beachfront Rentals to help me find an affordable place. It turns out that in this fabulous tourist destination that it wasn't so easy. But the company was great. When friends and family came to visit, they would also book a Maui condo rental through them. I would occasionally take the Quiz Combat, but usually I had pictures to process and field reports to write. Several of my friends did win some Saab merchandise.

WINNERS ANNOUNCED 11 November 2013 Three Thai contestants won the Saab Commander contest and flew the Gripen Fighter Simulator at the Defense & Security 2013 On the occasion of “Defense & Security 2013”, Defense and security company Saab’s Quiz Combat saw enthusiastic participation of over 5000 visitors, 3000 contestants from 72 cities, towns and townships in Thailand. The Quiz Combat tested contenders’ knowledge of the options available on the battlefield. The battlefield sits on http://www.saabcommander.com. So far, the contest has produced over 75 winners. Winners chosen by a computerised draw from all-correct answers have won merchandise that ranges from Saab memorabilia to Gripen mementos and a host of other limited edition material.

Three Thai contestants won a flight in the Gripen Fighter simulator. These contestants were selected from the pool of winners in the ‘Level Professional’ and ‘Level Ace’ and have been invited to the Defence & Security 2013 and given the rare opportunity to fly the Gripen simulator. “The Saab Commander contest for the Thai people has received very enthusiastic participation from across Thailand and we have today a very strong community of people who have become aware of complex technologies and have a good appreciation of the history of Swedish military technologies. I congratulate all the winners for taking part and answering some tough questions,” says Dan Enstedt, President & CEO, Saab AsiaPacific.

I'm sure the resurrection of at least this page of the original site brings back great memories for a lot of people. Too bad you can't take the Quiz Combat, but it wasn't showing in the site's 2013 archived pages.

The Quiz Combat tested contender’s knowledge of the options available on the battlefield. The Quiz Combat will rank all those who pass the test by their level of all rounded excellence on the field.

The battlefield was on this website.
