History:
Like most of the type in North America, this was imported new with a standard, civilian airworthiness certificate by Fox 51 Ltd, Denton TX. I am the second owner, since 1998. About 20% of SF.260s in North America, and most elsewhere in the world, were sold as military trainers, to the Italian, Belgian, Singaporean, Filipino and other air forces.
