The Saab 32 Lansen was Sweden's first indigenously developed jet-powered strike aircraft, filling the attack, fighter and reconnaissance roles across its A 32A, J 32B and S 32C variants respectively. It first flew in 1952 and entered service in 1955, becoming a cornerstone of Swedish Cold War air defense — the A 32A in particular was tasked with striking Soviet naval forces in the Baltic should the need arise.
These are pictures of A 32A Lansen "32085", displayed at F15 Flygmuseum in Söderhamn, wearing the markings of the local wing F15. This particular aircraft was delivered to the Swedish Air Force in February 1957 and retired in 1975, after which it stood as a gate guardian at Såtenäs before being moved to Söderhamn around 1999.
