Another Royal Jordanian Air Force Historic Flight aircraft is F.58 843, which used to be J-4075. Sadly while they spent some time flying in the UK before leaving for Jordan, after an initial burst of activity they have been mostly ground-bound. There was an attempt to get the Flight airworthy again for the 60th anniversary of Jordan's independence, but in the end Delta Jets and Air Atlantique provided a Hunter and Vampire to carry out a flypast instead as this was more economical than the work necessary to get the RJAFHF aircraft back in the air.
