Recently, an MS760 jet trainer that once belonged to former Iranian Shah Pahlavi will be auctioned, with a starting price of $300,000, although $300,000 sounds like a lot, but compared with the same type of jet trainer model, $300,000 to buy an MS760 that still maintains the ability to fly is still a good attraction, not to mention that the last owner of this aircraft is the King of Pahlavi.
The MS760 "Paris" is a twin-engine jet trainer/observation aircraft developed by the famous French aircraft manufacturer Morane Solnier in the 50s of the last century, which first flew in 1954. Due to the wide cockpit of the MS760, the aircraft can accommodate up to four crew members. The aircraft is equipped with two not very powerful jet engines, with a maximum range of about 1500 kilometers and a maximum cruise speed of 570 kilometers per hour.
The MS760 jet trainer is mainly in service with the French Air Force and Navy, the Argentine Air Force and the Brazilian Air Force, and the last MS760 jet trainer was retired in 2007 and is part of the Argentine Air Force. The only combat record of the aircraft was the suppression of the Argentine Navy uprising in 1963, when the MS760 trainer aircraft carrying rockets and cannons combined with the Argentine Air Force's F9F fighter completed the suppression of the Argentine Navy insurgent personnel.
In 2009, the Argentine Air Force sold all 30 of its more than 30 MS760 trainers, which averaged about $550,000 each, and now $300,000 can bring home an MS760 that once belonged to Pahlavi. @Toutiao No. @Toutiao International@Toutiao Military @Toutiao Aviation
