This is the story about Lieutenant Peter Nordström and the tragic J35 Draken accident in the Småland bog. We visited the site where the J35 crashed over 50 years ago. The unique thing about this accident is that the remains of the aircraft and pilot was never recovered.
On the morning of November 30th, 1972, at 11:12 AM, tragedy struck when a J35 Draken aircraft, piloted by Lieutenant Peter Nordström from the Airforce base in Malmslätt, Sweden, crashed into a bog located 3.5 km south of Malmbäck.
Lieutenant Nordström was an experienced pilot with a vast knowledge of the J35 Draken, having accumulated around 130 hours of flight time on this aircraft. The weather on that fateful day resembled typical late autumn conditions, with cloudy skies, slight humidity, an eight knots wind, and an air temperature at 5 degrees centigrade.
