Soko Galeb G2A History:

The SOKO G-2 Galeb (Serbian, Croatian Sea Gull) is a two-seat, single engine, advanced trainer, counter-insurgency, ground-attack and reconnaissance aircraft developed in Yugoslavia.

Production began in 1964, making it the first indigenous jet to enter mass production in Yugoslavia (the first jet-powered plane built by Yugoslavia was the Ikarus 451M in 1952 but it did not enter production). After the Soko 522 it was the second aircraft built at SOKO, Mostar. The first serial produced G-2A, was inscribed in the register of Yugoslav Air Force aircraft on July 30, 1965, and the last one was introduced in the JRV on January 6, 1981. G-2A was knonw in Yugoslav Military under the N-60 label. Production of modernized aircraft for export in the Libya, was extended until half of 1983. Soko has produced a total of 248 Galeb aircraft. From this number, SFR Yugoslav Air Force has used 132 aircraft.

They were used primarily for school-combat training of VVA (Military Air Force Academy) cadets, so that the largest number of these aircraft was located in the VVA units. The aircraft was very easy and forgiving in flight, with easy maintenance, so students and technicians loved it. They regularly achieved 5,000 hours in the air (the G-2 Galeb in the Yugoslav Aeronautical Museum had 6,200 hours in its logbook).
