During the 1990s, Saab carried out modifications to the AJ 37, so that it could operate as a multi-role aircraft, which was designated the AJS 37. Saab had manufactured 108 AJ 37s and of these, 48 were modified. This Viggen was delivered in 1978 to Västgöta flygflotilj F 6 in Karlsborg and then moved to Skaraborgs flygflotilj F 7 in Såtenäs. After conversion to AJS in 1993, the aircraft was delivered to Skånska flygflotilj F 10 in Ängelholm and came to the Flygvapenmuseum for preservation in April 1997.

In 1951, Sweden ordered 74 Saab 91B trainers to replace its remaining Bücker Bü 181 Bestmann aircraft. However, the company's capacity was full building J29 Tunnan fighters, so production of the Saab 91B was moved to the Dutch company De Schelde at their Dordrecht factory. De Schelde continued building the Safir until 1955, completing a total of 120 Saab 91B (and 91Cs). With the Flygvapnet the type was designated SK 50B. The aircraft, seats three people and was used for basic flight training. This example came to the Flygvapenmuseum in September 1997.

This is one of two Canberra B.2s acquired by the Flygvapnet from the RAF and modified to T.11 standard, trainers for pilots and navigators of all-weather interceptors to operate the Airborne Intercept radar. After delivery, both aircraft flew with F8 at Stockholm - Barkaby. Although they were modified for ELINT missions and designated Tp 52, this example was mainly used as a flying test bed and flown to Malmen for preservation in January 1973.

The Flygvapenmuseum's TP 47 was manufactured in 1943 under license in Canada. It was the first of the three aircraft to arrive in Sweden and was stationed at F 2 Hägernäs from 1949. The Flygvapnet retired the aircraft after almost 20 years, with a total flight time of 6,000 hours, and designated it for preservation.

This Draken was delivered to the Flygvapnet in 1968 as a J 35F, but later modified to a J 35J. It was stationed at Bråvalla Air Squadron F 13 in Norrköping, Västmanland Air Squadron F 1 in Västerås and Skåne Air Squadron F 10 in Ängelholm. The plane was the first Draken to be painted grey and, in 1999, was handed over to the Flygvapenmuseum for preservation.

During 1947, SAAB began converting the piston-engined J 21s to jet propulsion resulting in 64 J21Rs, with the type seeing service in the late 1940s and early 1950s before being replaced by a new generation of fighters designed from the start with jet propulsion, such as the DH Vampire and the Saab 29 Tunnan. Unfortunately, all original J21R aircraft were scrapped after retirement in the late 1950s, however, in the 1990s a group of volunteers took the surviving derelict Saab J21A airframe 21286, and rebuilt it into a J21R for display at the Flygvapenmuseum.

This Hunter was originally delivered to F18 at Tullinge in 1956. In autumn 1962 it was transferred to F 9 at Gothenburg Säve and flew on until July 1968 when, with a total flight time of 1,225 h, it was handed over to the historical flight collection at Malmen for refurbishment and eventual display.

This Venom was delivered to F 1 in Västerås during August 1953 and wore the scheme in which it is on display today. Between 1960 and 1969 it was on the Swedish register as SE-DCD and painted yellow for use as a target tug with Svensk Flygtjänst AB. In January 1969 the plane was handed over to the historic flight collection as Malmen for restoration and display.

This Tunnan is an unarmed reconnaissance version with seven cameras and a rear warning system to detect attacks from behind. The aircraft was delivered to the Flygvapnet in 1956 and served for the next ten years. The Target Flight Division then used the aircraft at F 3 Malmen until 1970 before it became part of the aviation history collections that laid the foundation for the Flygvapenmuseum. Note the code 21-20 is fake.

The Swedish Air Force purchased two NA-16 aircraft, to be used as pattern aircraft for license production by AJSA (later Saab). They served as trainers with F5 at Ljungbyhed and were given the designation Sk14. No Sk14s survive, and this example is a replica built by enthusiasts of the Svensk Flyhistorik Förening, the propeller, landing gear and tires are from different, original aircraft, the rear fuselage and wingtips come from an RAAF Wirraway and most other parts originate from a Canadian Yale. The remaining details were finished according to original drawings. A true composite aircraft!

The Ju86 was the most important Swedish bomber during WW II. Forty of these aircraft were ordered from Germany in 1936, before license production in Sweden started. Serial 155 was built in Germany in 1938 and delivered to F1 in June 1938. During its last years of service it was used as a transport aircraft with F21. On 3 June 1958, it made its last flight, completing 2086 hours. This example is the only Ju86 left in the world.

In early 1940, deliveries of the EP-106 started via Norway. Eventually, only half of the 120 Ep-106 ordered were delivered as the USA halted export to some countries. The aircraft were designated J9 and used for fighter and reconnaissance duties. Serial 2134 was taken on strength in July 1940, it moved to F3 at Malmen in 1948 and was retired from service in 1949 and added to the historical collection.

A total of 85 Fw44J Stieglitz were bought and built under license in Sweden until 1943. It was used for basic flight training and given the designation Sk12. Serial 670 was built in 1941 and was the last remaining Sk12 with the Swedish Air Force. It served mostly at F5 Ljungbyhed. It was used as a glider tug at Ljungbyhed between 1963 and 1967 as SE-EGB. It was deregistered and passed on to the flight historical collection at Malmen. It last flew in 1976, with the 50th anniversary of the Swedish Air Force.

A Centrala Verstäderna (CV)-license built Fokker C.V can be found on display with the excellent Flygvapenmuseum. A total of 14 were purchased from Fokker, The Netherlands, and 35 were built by CV in Malmen. After it proved unsuccesful as a figher (designated J3) the type was relegated to reconnaissance duties as the S6. The reconnaissance equipment consisted of one hand-held camera. This aircraft served from 1934 till 1945. The aircraft was renovated and flew in 1962 to celebrate 50 years powered flight in Sweden and last flew in 1963 on a round trip to the Netherlands for the RNLAF jubilee!

To gain experience with jet aircraft, ahead of the Saab 29 Tunnan project, Saab converted four Saab J21As with jet engines, to become J21R. Unfortunately, no J21R aircraft were saved after the type was retired at the end of the 50s. The museums J21A 21286 had no engine and was chosen to be rebuild as a J21R. The aircraft was handed over to the museum on 13 April 1998 as a J21R.

Designed by Swedish aviation pioneers Von Porat and Kjellson, the Tummelisa was a light and agile aircraft used to train fighter pilots who aleady had some experience. Serial 3656 was built in 1928 and is the only surviving example of its kind. It flew with F5 from Ljungbyhed and F3 from Malmen during its career. It last flight was at Malmen during the celebration of 50 years of Swedish military aviation in 1962.

Two Canberras were acquired by the Swedish Air Force from the RAF and these were modified to Canberra T.11 by Boulton Paul. After delivery, both aircraft were secretly modified in Sweden for eavesdropping on primarily Soviet, Polish, and East German military radio transmissions. The Canberras were given the designation Tp52, and taken into service as test aircraft, until they were replaced by two Tp85 Caravelles in 1971. Serial 52002 was flown to Malmen into retirement on 25 January 1973.

Saab J21A 21364 was delivered to the Swedish Air Force in August 1948. With its highly characteristic shape, it was one of the first types of aircraft delivered with an ejection seat. Its service life was cut short, when jet fighters became available in large numbers, and by 1954 serial 21364 was already retired and moved to the flight historical collection, which became the excellent Flygvapenmuseum.

When the Swedish Air Force was created in 1926, this type became its first fighter (J1), having been acquired by the army from 1919. Serial 947 was one of the first purchased from Austria for the army, ahead of license-construction in Sweden. It was retired in 1928 and given to the car of the flight historical collection at Malmen, which evolved into the Flygvapenmuseum.

With the threat of war looming over Europe in 1939, Sweden sought to buy fighter aircraft and found Italy willing to deliver the Reggiane 2000, designated J20 by the Swedish Air Force. All 60 operated from Bulltofta near Malmö, to strengthen air defence over South Sweden and often escorted foreign aircraft seeking refuge in Sweden during WW II. Serial 2340 was delivered in August 1942 and withdrawn from use when the war ended, in 1945. Of the two surviving Re2000s in the world, this is the only one that is complete.
