The Draken was delivered to the Flygvapnet in 1969 as a J 35F and assigned to Skåne (Scania) air flotilla F 10 in Ängelholm. The plane was later modified to a J 35J, but a somewhat curious fact is that the head of the Flygvapnet at the time, Sven-Olof Olson, decided that J would be the new version designation after the modification from the J 35F. This was because the tenth letter of the alphabet is J and all of the newly modified Drakens were going to be placed with F 10. After retirement the Flygvapnetmuseum took over the aircraft and placed it with Aeroseum in 2008. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
