You people are saying that 4 AWACS are being received, 4 SAAB-2000 AWACS, but isn't the fourth SAAB-2000 only for flying training and not for AWACS use, or is it the fifth one? Or will it be changed to AWACS later?

As i understand it, it is 4 SAAB-2000 aircraft, 3 AWACS platforms, the other one is for training only.

Good:

- Let the manufacturer and initial user(s) work out the bugs, hardware and software.

Bad:

- Documentation. In many cases, documentation of modifications, either planned and systematic or ad-hoc from aircraft to aircraft and from version to version, can be spotty and many would wash their hands of problems created by inadequate documentation or sloppy work. The secondary buyer ended up with the frustrating task of sorting out what is planned and systematic and adhere to them, finding out the ad-hoc mods and get them to conform to specs, and document everything all over again because now he has the responsibility of maintaining what he bought.

This is not widespread but it does occur and enough in frequency that the secondary buyer often demand some kind of compensation in the event the modifications are beyond his technical scope or even return possibility in the purchase contract.
