EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic debut of the first Government Aircraft Factories (GAF) N-22 Nomad, registration VH-AUI (msn 1), at the prestigious Paris Air Show in Le Bourget, France, in June 1975. With the airshow serial number 32 proudly displayed, this aircraft was a major attraction, marking the beginning of a new era in aeronautical transport. The N-22 Nomad was a versatile twin-engine turboprop transport aircraft, designed for short takeoff and landing capabilities, making it an ideal choice for various missions, including military, civilian, and humanitarian operations. Unfortunately, this pioneering aircraft's tenure was cut short when it was involved in a ground incident at Mazatlan Airport, Mexico, on October 26, 1975. Despite its unfortunate end, the impact of the first GAF N-22 Nomad, VH-AUI, on the aviation world was significant. Its innovative design and versatile capabilities paved the way for future developments in the transport and transportation sector, solidifying its place in aviation history. This photograph, from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the milestones that have shaped the aviation industry. The N-22 Nomad's story serves as a testament to the spirit of innovation and progress that continues to drive the aviation world forward.
