Soko G.2 Galeb

The first of two prototype SOKO G2-A Galeb (Gull) two-seat trainer and light attack aircraft was flown during May 1961 and production was started in 1963.

Powered by a 2,500 lb / 1134kg thrust Rolls-Royce Viper 22-6 turbojet, the G2-A was the standard version for the Yugoslav air force. A G2-AE export variant became available from late 1974 and was built for Libya and Zambia. The basic G2-A version served with the Yugoslav Air Force and G-2A-Es with Libya and Zambia.

Production of the G-2A Galeb ended in 1983.
