Soko G-4 "Super Galeb"



G-4 "Super Galeb" (eng."Super Gull") is a Yugoslav school-combat aircraft with a turbojet engine, intended for the transitional training of pilots. It was developed as a more modern successor to the "Galeb" G-2, of greater capabilities and with a combat purpose for action against targets on the ground.

The project and complete development was led by the Aviation Technical Institute, and the production of the aircraft factory "Soko" 
from Mostar. The first prototype flew on July 18, 1978, and serial production began in 1983. 

The Aeronautical Museum preserves the rear part of the fuselage of the G-4 aircraft (markings - 23733) "Minka", that during a combat flight near Lički Ribnik on September 24, 1991 was 
hit by a man-portable air-defense system at a height of 2100m, at a speed of 720 km/h. Pilot Second Lieutenant Branislav Ivanovski, despite the severe damage to the aircraft, returned the aircraft to the base at Udbine airport, where the entire rear part was repaired and replaced. The aircraft continued to be used in combat operations and is still flying. This event testifies that the G-4 aircraft of Yugoslav production is very resistant to hits by self-guided surface-to-air missiles.
