Didn't the Swedish air force once have the idea that the Gripen would
be used for initial flying training as well, and thus replace the saab
105 in that role?
I read that somewhere sometime...

BAE Systems/Saab were offering the Gripen and Typhoon as one package, the
Gripen being the 2 set variant and for use as advanced jet trainer for the
crews to use as a transition to the Typhoon. A good plan for aircraft sales
if you can pull it off.
