The Fort Worth Star and Telegram reports that Norway has selected the F-35 aircraft over the Swedish Gripen. The new aircraft will replace the F-16 fleet currently operated by the Scandinavian country. Norway had always been leaning towards the F-35 due to its integration in NATO; but Sweden had made an unsolicited offer for the Gripen that was considered a very good deal.

Aftenposten writes that the far left party, Socialist Left Party, will not stop the procurement of the JSF fighter by the government. Norway is considering the JSF to replace its F-16 fleet, although Sweden has also made an unsolicited offer with the Gripen aircraft. The decision as to which aircraft will be purchased will be made by the end of the year. There was some concern that the Socialist Left would not support buying the US aircraft, preferring the Gripen. They accept though that with Norway being part of NATO it may influence the decision.
