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.
