This was the second and last YF-17 built. It first flew as USAF 72-1570 on 21 Aug 1974 and was transferred to the US Navy in early 1976, receiving out-of-sequence serial 201570. The aircraft was in a design competition with the F-16, to which it lost. The design then lead to the development of the F-18.
