Hi Dimitris and S.O.,
I accept the challenge, but I have to tell you it isn't a very hard one. I already have the data in hand and it's only a matter of rounding up the citations. Both the JAS 39 Gripen and the F-16 had more than their share of difficulties. The Gripen in particular seems to have had a lot of problems swept down the memory hole now that its development is in the past. As to the F-16, the 'early' variants played the equivalent role of F-35 Block .5, 1, and 2--interim steps on the way to the baseline objectives.
