These walk-around photos were taken outside Flygvapenmuseum at Malmen in 2019 and 2022, showing the aircraft at two different stages — in 2019 with its wings removed, and in 2022 with wings and underwing tanks fitted. They show a Saab J 29F Tunnan, individual number 29487 — the final and most capable variant of the Tunnan, converted from J 29B and E standard through an upgrade programme running from 1956 to 1958. The conversion brought a dog-tooth leading edge wing for better high-speed handling and an afterburning RM 2B engine for dramatically improved climb performance — a critical requirement for intercepting high-altitude Soviet bombers. From 1963 the J 29F could also carry AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles.
Individual 29487 was originally delivered to F 7 Såtenäs on 7 April 1954 and E- and F-modified between 1956 and 1957, going on to serve at F 15, F 16, F 20 and F 3 before retirement and donation to Egeskov museum in Denmark in 1968. It later made its way back to Sweden and into Flygvapenmuseum's collection, where these photos show it in the process of being returned to display condition.
