The Swedish Air Force pioneered the use of dispersed air strips on highways and byways in the Swedish forests and countryside. These bases were continually manned with a skeleton maintenance crew to keep them action ready. In case of war, the units would disperse to pre-assigned bases. This outside diorama shows a Viggen with a Jeep service unit and a GPU. A Volvo fuel truck would complete the line service units while in the field.

Hangning from the roof at the top of a loop, this Bulldog advertises F15 Söderhamn's open day 10 June 1995 and the 50th anniversary for Hälsinge flygflottilj.

The museum's SK 60 is displayed with open cockpit and invites the visitor in.

The Swedish Air Force introduced its own designation system when it was established. The DH Vampire became "Jaktflygplan 28" or Fighter Aircraft 28. This example is actually 28219, but painted to represent an F15 aircraft. Note the red squadron insignia on the wall. The insignia in the middle is that of 1. Division's technical company, 1. komp F15. The two others are those of 1. Divison. The black hand on left was used from the early 1960s until it was replaced by "Attackix" around 1978.

A lot can be said for the F15 Flygmuseum at Söderhamn. Although somewhat crowded as this photo shows, the museum has creadted dioramas that clearly show unique features either with the aircraft or the unit. In this case, with the long-legged push-propellor J 21, they illurstrate the early adoption of ejector seats on the type. The first test of the seat developed by Bofors took place in 1943 with the first ejection from flight took place in July 1946. The aircraft carries the colours of 1. Divisionen of F15 Hälsinge flygflottilj which was based at Söderhamn.
