Ex USAF 49-2983, French Air Force 92983, Moroccan Air Force Y61501, Tunesian Air Force Y61-501. It never served in Canada so the markings in this photo are very nice but totally fake (except for the serial on the fin). This aircraft is one of six Texans recovered from Tunesia by Didier Chable and brought to France in the mid 1980s. Restoration of this Texan started in the 1990s, and it was first registered as F-AZVN in 2001.
