Towing target, a J35F Draken [35492 from F10 Wing] fires a RB 27 rocket (SAAB license bult AIM-26B Falcon) but the angle of attack is to steep and the rocket locks on to the towing a/c. The rocket explodes under the tail of the Lansen. The a/c looses hydraulic pressure but is controllable and a wheels-down landing with engine power is carried out, the a/c lacks brakes and ends up in the arresting net. Crew safe.
The airframe is used for a study on combat damage repair for about a year, repaired and returned to service (as target tow). The a/c is preserved at RFN Museum, Vidsel.
