Flygvapnet had three Norseman in service between 1948 and 1959. The original 78002 served from April 1948 until it came to grief at Blidö 14 July 1954. This aircraft was delivered to the USAAF as 44-70384 in 1944, to Polarfly as LN-PAD July 1947, July 1949 to Widerøes Flyveselskap & Polarfly, then RNoAF as R-AI September 1952, disposed December 1959. Registered LN-TSR to Solbergfly January 1960, to Fjellfly July 1963. CoA expired March 1967 and cancelled January 1973. Sold to Sweden during the 1970s and now restored to pristine display condition as 78002 looked when serving with F4 Jämtlands flygflotilj in the early 1950s.

Actually a former Royal Norwegian Air Force Noorduyn Norseman (ex 44-70384), this particular aircraft was painted to represent a Swedish Air Force Tp78 Norseman. The type was used by the local Jämtlands flygflottilj (F4) and the badge of this unit, featuring a white elk with red hoofs and antlers can be seen on the nose. The orange colours represent service as a SAR and medevac-aircraft.
