There's at least one proposal to get around this by adopting a foreign design like the Saab Gripen: http://www.stairwaypress.com/bookstore/american-gripen/ http://www.stairwaypress.com/bookstore/american-gripen/ . The US could rename it the Freedom Chimera and manufacture it under license in Kentucky to manage the politics.
- greedo 6y agoI have a bridge I'd like to sell you... The Gripen is a fine aircraft, but introducing a foreign made aircraft into the USAF doesn't happen very often. I can only think of two examples, the Canberra bomber (B-57) and the Dauphin helicopter the Coast Guard bought in the 1980's. Plus new-build F-16s would be better at most roles than the Gripen.
