The Swedish Air Force finds this aircraft well-designed for its roles and very economic to operate, and would therefore like to order 10 for a total sum of $4,000,000.

The Royal Norwegian Air Force thanks Fokker and asks if it would be possible to also have 20 Fokker S.11 trainers delivered within the same time schedule?
