Photo Comment

T-28 51-3590 was sold to Sud Aviation in 1959 and converted to a T-28S Fennec. Serving with the French Air Force, Moroccan Air Force, Nicaraguan National Guard, Fuerza Aérea de Nicaragua and Sandinista Air Force, it was sold and shipped to Canada in 1987. The data plate was missing and replaced by one from T-28 51-7668 (cn 174-521) that had crashed with the USAF in 1953 in order to get the aircraft registered C-FXRD (cn 521). The trainer went to the USA as N521DF in 1995 before coming back to Canada as C-GULI in 2008. It's current at the time of uploading in French Air Force colors.
