Finnish Air Force Museum / Suomen ilmavoimamuseo:

The Draken (“dragon”) is a Swedish single-seat all-weather interceptor. The first serial production aircraft were handed over to the Swedish Air Force in the spring of 1960. 615 Drakens were built in nine variants. In addition to Sweden, the fighter was in use in Austria, Denmark and Finland.

The Draken had already been shortlisted among the Finnish Air Force’s fighter candidates in the early 1960s. However, mainly for political reasons, Finland decided to acquire MiG-21F-13s, which lacked an all-weather combat capability. When the Air Force started improving its all-weather capabilities, the Draken was chosen, as the sole candidate, as the service’s first all-weather interceptor. At that time, the choice of the Swedish aircraft was also intended to emphasise Finland’s neutrality. An order for the first 12 Drakens was inked in April 1970. The aircraft were assembled at Valmet. Six used J 35B Drakens stripped of the radar were leased from Sweden for training. The first Draken assembled in Finland rolled off the assembly line in March 1974. Additional aircraft in various versions were purchased in the 1970s and 1980s.

A total of 48 Drakens saw service in Finland.

Finnish Air Force Museum

Our main exhibition presents Finnish military aviation history from the 1910s to the present day. We are a cooperative museum of the Military Museum. The objects in the permanent exhibition consist mainly of aircraft, engines and air equipment used by the Finnish Air Force. Temporary exhibition are located in different sides of the exhibition hall.
We preserve and restore aircraft used by the Finnish Air Force, preserving as many original parts and paintings as possible.

Suomen Ilmavoimamuseo

Esittelemme suomalaista sotilasilmailuhistoriaa 1910-luvulta nykypäivään saakka. Olemme Sotamuseon yhteistyömuseo. Perusnäyttelyn esineistö koostuu pääasiassa Suomen ilmavoimien käytössä olleista lentokoneista, moottoreista ja lentovarusteista. Eri puolelle näyttelyhallia on sijoitettu myös vaihtuvia näyttelyosia.
Konservoimme ja restauroimme ilmavoimien käyttämiä lentokoneita ja muuta esineistöä. Konservoinnin lähtökohtana on säilyttää esineet mahdollisimman autenttisena ja alkuperäisyyttä kunnioittaen.
