I am very glad that you have decided to begin the J-22, Dan. It was an attractive, if little known, fighter, and I have an interest in Swedish aviation, which was reinforced by a long-time friendship with a Flygvapnet colonel who flew J-8s (Seversky P-35s) at the beginning of World War II and later was one of the first pilots to fly P-51s. He and I served together in Korea, and we later visited him in Sweden. We maintained a long correspondence in which he provided lots of images and stories. I do not think he ever flew the J-22, but he made mention of the aircraft in his correspondence.
