This Kfir C1P was used by Fighting Squadron 43 "Challengers" as an adversary aircraft. The aircraft received the F-21A Kfir designation in US service. 999703 was former Israeli Air Force serial 703 and arrived in the US Navy in early 1986 and was returned to Israel after the lease contract was ended in March 1988. It was assigned tailcode AD but this was not carried. 03 is preserved at Ramon air base (Israel) since February 2004.
