Actually 54-2290 and ex Danish AF G-290. While on delivery from Denmark to Turkey the aircraft malfunctioned and made an emergency landing in Italy. Ultimately the aircraft did not reach Turkey, but ended up as a gateguard at Aviano. The aircraft's name may refer to Danish Esk 727, that was the Super Sabre unit in Denmark, sporting Thor's hammer in the badge.
