The approx. six-hour flight was interrupted with only one landing at Ronneby Air Base, Sweden, where the ground crew refueled the Gripens. They performed hot refueling (HOTREF), which means that they did the refueling with the engines running. Thus it took only 15 minutes for the pairs of aircraft to take off again after the landing.
After another three-hour phase, the Hungarian Gripens arrived in Vidsel Air Base. The airmen occupied their quarters and started preparing for the training flights to be made over the next days.
