He made his first public appearance in Méaulte last weekend, and his arrival brings to eleven the number of T-28 Trojans in flying condition in France.

At the same time, the North American AT-6 Harvard Mk.IV registered D-FXXX, was recently acquired by Paul Libbra and based on the land of Colmar-Houssen.
