The original – Saab J-29 Tunnan

The Saab J-29 Tunnan is a Swedish single-seat jet fighter designed and produced by Saab. The aircraft was used primarily by the Swedish Air Force (Flygvapnet), and also saw limited service in Austria. The J-29 Tunnan was famous for its distinctive "bulky" silhouette and high performance for its era.

The Saab J-29 fighter was operated from the early 1950s and remained in service until the mid-1960s, fulfilling significant roles during the Cold War. A notable moment in the aircraft's history was the participation of a Swedish UN contingent in peacekeeping operations during the Congo Crisis (1961–1964), where Tunnan aircraft conducted air support and airspace patrol missions.
