Photo Comment
The South African Air Force purchased 12 used Caravans. ZS-MHJ was delivered 8 May 1989 and entered service with 41 Sqd. The Caravan fleet was given military serials after the 1994 elections but retained their civilian colour schemes. With the unification of all armed forces into the South African National Defence Force, the Caravans were given a more unified military look with national insignia and squadron markings. Current with 41 Sqd in 2024 as 3005. Registered N9705F prior to delivery. Photographer unknown This photo was added on 11 December 2024, and has since been viewed 1835 times.
