The Gripen was in contention instead of the F-35 a few years ago. It's now in contention again due to you know what. Apparently they also have a new Rolls-Royce instead of the GE engine available.
(edit) There are some very good European electronics available as well.

RCAF CC-130Js came in a 2 ship formation to run Star Wars Canyon. The trail ship (602) thought better of it and while we were shooting the lead he rolled wings level and blazed over our position.July 2018 #RCAF #Canada #Eh? #lowlevelflying #lowflyingaircraft #avgeek #lowflying #nikon #jetsinthewild #sidewinderlowlevel #jedi #starwarscanyon #jeditransition #nellisafb #sidewinder
RCAF CC-130J ducks behind the ridge near Star Wars Canyon. It was 112+F or 44+C so the heat haze was impossible to avoid July 2018 #RCAF #Canada #Eh? #lowlevelflying #lowflyingaircraft #avgeek #lowflying #nikon #jetsinthewild #sidewinderlowlevel #jedi #starwarscanyon #jeditransition #nellisafb #sidewinder

She has returned! I just missed seeing her in the air. :(
A couple more engines in her and she will try again south. Soon!

She is on Flightaware (not flight tracker).
Should be turning toward Port Alberni soon! #rcaf #usaf #phillipineMars #portalberni #Nanaimo #cowichan #MartinMars #wwii #aircraft

CONFIRMED
She was spotted headed north off of Nanaimo just now. C130 might have been shadowing her.

Probably some sort of exercise. There is an American P8 maritime surveillance plane over the Island, and the C130 is now in the area of CFMETR test range. Perhaps they are doing a torpedo test on the range today.
