Of 204 aircraft ordered for the Swedish Air Force, 28 will be two-seaters like this one designated JAS 39 B. These will be used for tactical training, but also have full combat capability, apart from having no gun and carrying less fuel. |
All the differences between the B
and A versions are concentrated in the forward part of the fuselage.
Here a good view of the two-seater nose. |
The twin
canopy in open position. |
Two more in-flight pictures giving a good idea about the canopy shape. Note lack of the cannon underneath.

As the two cockpits required much
more space, the front undercarriage of the JAS 39B was also redesigned. The
most visible change is a different angle of the front cover in open position
and relocation of the landing light . |
