When Slovenia gained independence in 1991, this Yugoslav-built Gazelle became its first military aircraft when its pilot defected from Yugoslavia, where it had served from around 1979 as 12660. Initially serialled TO-001 with the Slovenian Territorial Defence, it was later registered SL-HAA then S5-HAA.
