Flight Manual: Bookmark J 35J Draken 5.12024-04-04

Interior model

The interior model is a realistic - although not 100 % accurate - rendering of a real 35J cockpit. Some guesswork was necessary where information was missing, and a few compromises were made to prevent some panels and switches from being obscured.

The radar included in this model is a very rough approximation of the Ericsson PS-011/A and not intended to simulate the functionality of the real thing. Implementing a real targeting radar and weapons delivery system is beyond the scope of this project.

All other instruments and systems have been modeled to be as close to the real thing as possible within the limitations of Prepar3D.

Exterior model

The exterior models and texture sets in this installation package include four distinguished aircraft from the 10th Swedish Air Force wing (F10) in Ängelholm, Sweden:

F 10-30 (serial # 35630)

The last J 35J to be flown by the Swedish Air Force. It is now on display at Ängelholm Air Museum in the original grey/green camo painting scheme.

F 10-43 (serial # 35541)

This aircraft was painted yellow with the black swordfish emblem of the 3rd Draken squadron at F10, Johan Gul (yellow), for the stand-down ceremony in 1999. It is now on display at the Estonian Aviation Museum in Tartu, Estonia.

F 10-56 (serial # 35556)

This was the last 35F² to be converted to 35J in 1991. It has the matte grey paint used during the final years at the F10 wing. This aircraft is still maintained in excellent condition with registration SE-DXR and flown at air displays, making it the last flying J 35J.

F 10-62 (serial # 35586)

This aircraft did the final operational 35J sortie (together with F 10-43) in 1999. It was scrapped a few years later along with most other remaining Drakens.
