This Thunderjet was built at Farmingdale and TOC with the USAF as 52-2910 but immediately exported to Italy to serve with the Aeronautica Militare Italiana as MM52-2910. It joined the Yugoslav AF as 10642 from May 1957 until around 1971, when the plane was retired and became a gate guard at Brnik AB. From 2008 to 2013 the plane underwent this wonderful restoration and is now on display at this very interesting museum. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
