JAS 39 Gripen Serial Numbers

[James S.]

Hi all, my name is James and I'm new here. First post and hopefully this is the right place to post this. Never really been into modern jets, any jet post-Korean War, never really had an interest in. About a week ago I discovered the JAS Gripen and fell in love with it. Been trying to research it the past few days. My question is, is there somewhere that list the JAS Gripen's serial numbers? I would like to put a listing together of the serial numbers for the Gripen A, B, C, etc. I haven't been into an aircraft this bad in a long time. Now I must get both 1/48 scale Kitty Hawk kits.

Thanks,
James Sontag

With the help of a gentleman on another board, this is what I've been able to come up with. If anyone knows something me, please feel free to correct what I have.

Thanks,
James Sontag

I'm not sure you are talking about a year "June 1982". First flight was 9th of December 1988. 39207 was the first C a/c.

It is what I found online, maybe when it was ordered?

I think you should have a look at the document/file "Nummerupplysningen JAS 39", available via the Gripen group at Facebook. I think you will recognise the author. Links below. The text is in swedish but maybe Google Translate could help you some issues.

Anyone know the serial numbers for any of the South African Gripen's?
