In September of 1996, three former Canadian Armed Forces CF-5D dual seaters were delivered to Botswana (serialled OJ21 to OJ23), followed by two more in June of 2000 (OJ24 and OJ25). In addition, 11 ex CAF single seat CF-5's were also taken on strength by the Botswana DF, with deliveries happening in three batches: 5 aircraft in March 1997 (OJ1 to OJ5), another 5 in October of 1997 (OJ6 to OJ10) and finally the 11th in June of 2000 (OJ11). Canada operated 89 Canadair built CF-5's and 46 CF-5D's between 1968 and 1995, and OJ25 shown here is former CF-116D "116831".
