F35 sales growing

Norway has decided on the F35 JSF as their next upgrade for their air force:
Despite being defeated against the F-35 in Norway, by merely contesting its claimed dominance Saab gained significant recognition in its Gripen NG, being a viable alternative to the future US 5th Generation fighter
After reconsidering its future fighter procurement, and evaluating a possible procurement of a future version of the JAS-39 Saab Gripen NG, Norway decided that the only candidate which could meet all the future operational requirements set by the Royal Norwegian Air Force 'Future Combat Aircraft Capability' requirement will be the 5th generation Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II.


Quite a bit of discussion about it over here
