North American NA-282
Sabreliner 40A N1WZ
(c/n 282-117)
Although developed originally as a
private venture in the mid 1950s, the first customer for the
Sabreliner was actually the United States Air Force which put them into
service as the T-39
(variants A to
G). In fact, of the 600 or so aircraft produced, 213 of
them were military
machines. This purely civilian model was the former I-MORA, first
flown in 1963.
