Photo Comment

Initially preserved at Homestead AFB (FL) in the 1990s as '60441' with local tailcode FM and moved to Pima as such in 2001. Beautifully repainted in 2012 into the livery of its first unit, the 425th TFTS at Williams AFB (AZ), but without the wing badge. Delivered in November 1972, this was a trainer notably for South Vietnamese pilots at the time.
