In 1951 Pilatus started to make spare parts for the Vampire and from these F+W Emmen constructed three additional Vampires for the air force. J-1082 was delivered in August 1960 and withdrawn in January 1991 with 1400 flight hours. In its final service years it was one of the target acquisition Vampires in bright black/day glow colours.
