These walk-around photos were taken in one of Flygvapenmuseum's storage facilities in 2019. They show a Saab J 29B Tunnan, individual number 29398, marked with the insignia of F 22 — the improvised wing formed for Sweden's contribution to the UN peacekeeping operation in the Republic of Congo in 1961–63, and the only occasion on which Swedish combat aircraft have ever been used in active combat.
The J 29B was the second production variant of the Tunnan, improved over the J 29A with internal wing fuel tanks that increased fuel capacity by 50 percent, along with underwing hardpoints for rockets, bombs and drop tanks. When the Congo crisis erupted in 1961 and the UN required air support, five J 29Bs were dispatched as F 22, later reinforced by four more J 29Bs and two S 29Cs. They flew ground attack missions against rebel positions using their four 20 mm cannon and unguided rockets, and no aircraft were lost in action. Individual 29398 is one of the survivors of that deployment, making it one of the most historically significant aircraft in Flygvapenmuseum's collection — a combat veteran of the only armed conflict in which the Swedish Air Force has ever participated.
