This particular F-5 never flew, rather it was used for structural tests at RUAG Interlaken and is now a gate guard outside Meiringen AB (actually on the grass beside a rather tasty looking restaurant). The original J-3008 (cn L-1008) was sold to the USA. This photo is copyright © Alastair T. Gardiner, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
