In June 1969, this trainer first flew with Heliopolis Air Works in Alexandria. It subsequently logged nearly 3,000 flying hours as 347 and was withdrawn from use in 1988. Flown to Germany in June 1989 by two pilots of the Sportfluggruppe Nordholz/Cuxhaven where it is being operated since. The nose art could perhaps refer to the ancient Egyptian deity Sobek.
