HISTORY

Supplied to the French Air Force in the 1950’s and served with 314 Groupement Ecole before being returned to the USAF almost thirty years later. It was planned to be delivered to Turkey in 1986 but refused to start at RAF Sculthorpe, and was subsequently offered to the CNAM. 16718 arrived at the museum on 31st May 1986 and is currently painted silver with black trim.
