In 1946, the Swedish Air Force purchased its first batch of 70 FB 1 Vampires.
In Swedish service, the Vampire received the designation J 28A.
The type soon provided such good service that the Vampire was soon selected to serve as the backbone of the fighter force. In 1949, a total of 310 of the more modern FB.50s, designated J 28B, which were based on the Vampire FB.5, were procured.
In 1956, the Swedish Vampires were retired from the fighter role, to be replaced in service with the J 29 (SAAB Tunnan) and J 34 (Hawker Hunter).
