Originally developed by Lockheed, the AL402 design was manufactured in small numbers in Mexico and Argentina (LASA-60) due to production costs. The design was later licensed to Aermacchi (and further developed) and South Africa's Atlas Aviation (building the CM4 Kudu). Some 180 aircraft were manufactured 1960-79. This particular 1967 AL-60F-5 Trojan was in Canada as C-GKDC for the period of 2004 - 16 before returning to the USA as N96038 again. It is current on the US registry at the time of uploading.
