Seen here after its capture by Chad and France forces in Ouadi Doum. Used later by Chad Air Force as QAE registered

One of the 9 Libyan Air Force SF-260 captured in Wadi Doum in 1986. This one is just re painted in Chadian markings and waiting for numbers and codes (481 / QAD); Written off during an accident in Dec. 1989.

Libya was a major customer of the SF.260 with an order for 240 of this trainer/tactical support version, some to be assembled in a new plant near Tripoli from the late 1970s. It is not known how many were actually delivered, but at least 12 were recently serviceable after refurbishment, while many of the others have found their way to countries like Burkino Faso, Burundi, Chad, Uganda and Nicaragua. This is one of four just landed after a performance by the Al Fatah Air Show Team. Jamahiriya Air Transport Il-76 5A-DNK is parked behind.
