Photo gallery of a Saab J-29F Tunnan, The Saab 29, colloquially called Flygande tunnan (English: “The flying barrel”), was a Swedish fighter designed and manufactured by Saab in the 1940s. It was Sweden’s second turbojet-powered combat aircraft, the first being the Saab 21R; additionally, it was the first Western European fighter to be produced with a swept wing after the Second World War, the Me 262 being the first during the war. Despite its rotund appearance, from which its name derives, the J 29 was a fast and agile aircraft for its era. It served effectively in both fighter and fighter-bomber roles into the 1970s.

More info:

The Saab J-29F Tunnan was a Swedish jet fighter that entered service in 1951. It was the first European aircraft to incorporate a swept-wing design, which improved its performance at high speeds. The J-29F was an upgraded version of the original J-29A, with a more powerful engine, an afterburner, and a radar. The J-29F was used by the Swedish Air Force and several other countries, including Austria and Ethiopia. It saw combat in the Congo Crisis and the Eritrean War of Independence. The J-29F was retired from active service in 1976, but some examples are still preserved in museums and air shows.
