Photo Comment

This Texan was built in Dallas and TOC by the USAAF as 42-44038 and subsequently with the South African Air Force as 7696. It became N696RE in August 1997 and arrived in Pilsen around June 1012. It has recently discarded its old SAAF markings and received this pseudo-RAF scheme becoming FX352, perhaps in recognition of the many WWII Czech pilots that trained on Harvards.
