The first Lansen was delivered in 1955 and the aircraft type was flown until the 1990s. In total, Saab produced nearly 500 examples of the type, of which 287 were 'A' attack versions. It was an important part of the Swedish defense during the 1950s and 1960s. Unfortunately, a third of all Lansens were destroyed in various accidents, in which a total of 100 crew members and seven civilians died. The accidents were largely due to technical failures and the pilots being poorly trained in flying in the dark and bad weather. The Flygvapenmusem's example flew from 1957 with F 6 Karlsborg.

The P-51 did not arrive in Sweden until towards the end of WWII when the Allies offered used aircraft to interested buyers. In three years, Sweden bought 161 Mustangs, designated J 26 in Flygvapnet service. From 1953, the Flygvapnet began to take the J 26 out of service but did not preserve any of the frames, rather all were sold to various countries. This example first served withe USAAF as 44-63992 and then with the Israeli DF as 2353. Israeli authorities later donated it for preservation and it now wears the same F 16/A markings as when delivered in April, 1945.

The FFVS J 22 was a Swedish single-engine fighter aircraft developed for the Flygvapnet during WWII. The first prototype J 22 made its maiden flight in September 1942 from Bromma airport and a total of 198 were built. The type was capable, well-liked by its pilots and possessed good manoeuvrability and responsive controls at lower altitudes but became sluggish above 20,000 ft because it lacked a supercharger. This is one of the five survivng examples.

The Saab began construction of the B 17 (bomber) in 1937 and a total of 322 B 17 and S 17 (reconnaisance) were ordered by the Flygvapnet. The Flygvapenmuseum's Saab 17B was used both as a dive bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. It was delivered in 1942 and decommissioned six years later, after which it was transferred to the aviation history collection at Malmen. This collection later formed the basis of the modern Flygvapenmuseum.

The Saab B 18 twin-engine bomber and reconnaissance aircraft flew for the first time in 1942. In total, Saab delivered 244 examples to the Flygvapnet but, unfortunately, after retirement in the late 1950s no aircraft were marked for preservation. This example was salvaged from the port of Härnösand, where it sank in 1946 after an emergency landing on the ice. After more than thirty years at the bottom of the sea, the aircraft arrived in Linköping in the early 1980s for restoration by the Östergötland Aviation History Society and so is now the only survivor of the type.

The Saab B 18 twin-engine bomber and reconnaissance aircraft flew for the first time in 1942. In total, Saab delivered 244 examples to the Flygvapnet but, unfortunately, after retirement in the late 1950s no aircraft were marked for preservation. This example was salvaged from the port of Härnösand, where it sank in 1946 after an emergency landing on the ice. After more than thirty years at the bottom of the sea, the aircraft arrived in Linköping in the early 1980s for restoration by the Östergötland Aviation History Society and so is now the only survivor of the type.

Försvarsmakten (The Swdish Armed Forces) procurement was looking for an anti-tank helicopter during the 1980s and finally selected the MBB Bo 105-CB-3, which then received the designation HKP 9 and was integrated into the Svenska Armén. This HKP 9 was delivered in 1987 and based at AF 1 Boden and then at AF 2 Malmslätt outside Linköping. For two years it was also stationed at the US base Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo. The helicopter was handed over to the Flygvapenmuseum in March 2010.

The Flygvapnet had 26 examples of the Fi-156, renamed S 14 in Sweden, some of which came from the Luftwaffe as refugees and deserters fled to Sweden from Germany during WWII and were then interred in the country. The Flygvapnet sold all copies of the S 14 abroad when the aircraft was taken out of service. The S 14 at the Flygvapenmuseum is built from parts from two different aircraft, the major sections from 3815, that were bought from Austria in the late 1960s.

The Försvarsmakten (Swedish defense forces) bought 22 Vertol 107s in 1963 for both the Flygvapnet (designated HKP 4A) and Marinen (4B and 4C).This particular 4B served at Berga and was mainly used for submarine hunting, minesweeping and various rescue missions. It was manufactured in 1959 as a prototype and came to Sweden in 1970 as a replacement and, as a result, has square windows on each side rather than all other HKP 4s with round windows. This helicopter rescued survivors from the Estonia ferry disaster and was handed over to the Flygvapenmuseum in 2011 after serving for 40 years.

The Re.2000 was one of two Italian aircraft types bought by the Flygvapnet when WWII broke out. It was given the designation J 20 and assigned to F 10 based at Bulltofta in Malmö. There, one of the aircraft's duties was to pilot foreign aircraft to suitable airfields, when they needed to make an emergency landing in Sweden during WWII. This J 20 arrived by rail from Italy in 1942 and, after the war was over, was used for ground instructional training so many panels were removed. The aircraft was later transferred to the museum at Malmen and is the only complete example of the type extant.

The HKP 2 is the only helicopter that has served in all three branches of the Swedish defense forces. This HKP 2 was delivered in 1959 to the Armeflygkar's (Swedish army) and was used, among other things, for transporting wounded and laying mines. During a period in the mid-1960s, it was placed on the Swedish civilain register and participated in an expedition to Svalbard. Later it was transferred to the Flygvapnet air flotilla F 7 at Såtenäs. The HKP 2 came to the Flygvapenmuseum in 1986 after having flown just over 1,000 hours.

In late 1917, the Swedes began to explore the possibility of constructing an effective fighter aircraft. A few years later, four Macchi M.7s, one of the world's fastest aircraft in the 1920s, were bought for evaluation. Naturally a floatplane had a huge advantage considering there were so few airports in the country at the time and could use lakes for takeoffs and landings. The army flight based its four Macchi M.7 in Linköping and flew them extensively on Lake Roxen. This the only M.7 remaining and was taken out of service in 1927 and is now the only surviving example in the world.
