Most probably a Jakt Viggen from the F7 wing, but the large intake hides the F7 mark on the nose. But 37072 flew with the wing from April 1982 up to August 1995. The aircraft was withdrawn from use in 1999 and from that moment seen with the fire department at Östersund. It was later on dumped (most probably after many handled fires. Luckily, the airframe was saved as it was moved to Såtenäs for display purposes late 2005. The Viggen is now beautiful on display on a pole at the Viggen Rastplatz at Garstorp along road number 44 , coded 72 of F7. It is furnished in an overall silvergrey colour.
