This is the first prototype of the PD-808, that flew on the 28 August 1964. It is interesting to remember that some hours after the first flight, this aircraft experienced during the take-off a bird ingestion into the left engine, that flamed out. The crew performed an engine-out circuit to land, without problems, unexpectedly demonstrating the good design and aircraft characteristics.
