The Utva 75 is a compact, piston engined aircraft manufactured by Lola Utva. It is mainly used as a military training aircraft for air force pilots that are not able to fly jet aircraft yet. It is a fairly popular aircraft among a few Balkan air forces.
History
The Utva 75, originally called the V-53 in the Yugoslav Air Force, was designed to replace the older and slower Utva 66. Its goal was a success: over a hundred units were built and served the Former Yugoslav Air Force for decades. After the war in former Yugoslavia, the Croatian AF, Serbian and later Montenego AF used the Utva 75. The last Utva 75's ever produced so far were two that were produced in Lola Utva's Pančevo factory in Serbia in 2003. They were exported to the United States. Civil operators include Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Republic of Macedonia, Jordan and the United States
