Photo Comment

The Impala I was a two-seat jet trainer, ground-attack aircraft for the SAAF. I think this may be a composite restoration of two former National Test Pilot School airframes: mostly '473' with '469' responsible for the rear fuselage. Anyway, it is an unusual and welcome exhibit at the very friendly Österreichische Luftfahrtmuseum.
