      This aircraft has been converted to a Garrett/Honeywell TFE731-3 turbofan engine. The Saphir 5 APU, ram air turbine, and other components made redundant by the conversion were removed, reducing the basic empty weight of the aircraft. Aircraft performance has been increased in the following areas:
        • Spool up time has been reduced by half
        • Rate of climb increase
        • Cruise speed increase
        • Fuel consumption decrease

      The parachutes are original and are in good condition. The ejection seats and canopies are fully functional, and all pyro is up to date.
