The third production Alouette II had quite an interesting career. Taken on strenght by the ALAT in June 1956, she was extensively used in the Algeria war. After having been decomissioned and registered F-GIJE, she flew a very lenghty trip from Paris to... Ushuaïa, via Scotland, Island, Greenland, Newfoundland and all the way down through the Americas! She finally hit the headlines on the 2 July 2018, when she was hijacked and used for a prison escape of a very high profile gangster. Sadly she was partly burnt by the hijackers after this event.
