Former Swedish Air Force 35489. The Draken was reported as withdrawn from use in 2004. It was then used as an instaructional airframe at Tampere College. DK-265 was the seen preserved outside the airport at Oulu (Finland). It was then destined for educational purposes with the Oulu airport fire department. During preperations for a transport to Kauhava in 2007 it was badly damaged by vandals at Oulu. The Ilmavoimat continued the transport and the Draken was eventually used by the fire department at Kauhava. It was last reported stored at Halli in late 2013.
