The first production Soko Orao fighter was rolled out of the factory today to the acclaim of officials of the Defence Ministry, representatives of the Royal Yugoslav Air Force and a delegation of officers from several foreign air forces, including those of Bulgaria and Turkey. It is rumoured that the latter two nations have expressed interest in acquiring the Orao once it reaches full production. While obviously filled with pride for the accomplishment of developing such a first-rank combat aircraft a spokesman for the Soko firm indicated that it would take many months for production to meet the needs of the nation’s air force.

A spokesman for the Defence Ministry confirmed today reports that the Bulgarian Air Force has expressed interest in acquiring a manufacturing licence for the Soko Orao fighter aircraft. He indicated that a Bulgarian delegation has visited Mostar to initiate discussions with representatives of the Soko firm and it is expected that arrangements will be worked out very soon. Unconfirmed reports suggest that the third production machine will be delivered to the Bulgarian manufacturer DAR to serve as a pattern for domestic production.
