This is the first FSD aircraft that first flew on 8 December 1976. After being used for different engines development, it ended its operational life and was used as a recuiting aid. Initially painted in standard two tones grey, and also bearing for a certain period a fake serial, it was then painted again as this Thunderbird. The original taileron shape, with not-cropped trailing corners, is clearly visible in this photo.
