I agree the Draken, Gripen and Viggen are all interesting.

Good points. Selling older parts usually can't get you much but may be able to fund a motherboard or afford you part of a higher price class graphics card.

How do A-10s communicate in bigger operations? I would expect you would want to be connected to some sort of ground commander or someone who can connect you to ground units in case they spot a SAM over the next hill or something, no? VHF AM seems to be exclusively used to chat with ATCs, VHF FM to JTACs... can they inform you of general ground news? And UHF goes to your own flight. What if you want to coordinate with other flights though? How do you call? What if a ground commander suddenly notices a shit-ton of armour coming across a hill somewhere and wants to send A-10s there... if you're plugged in to your ATC, JTAC and flight then how could they ever tell you? Do the ground guys contact you via UHF (since they know the frequency)?
