Ten T-35s were armed with machine guns and rockets and delivered to the Royal Saudi Arabian AF in 1953. After retirement they were stored at the edge of Jeddah AB but gradually deteriorated over time. Fortunately, enough parts could be salvaged to build a complete example and the Saudis donated a C-130 to fly the parts to Dobbins AFB after which they were trucked to Athens and restored to this make this beautiful example now on display at the Swift Museum.
