This aircraft was bult as a Kfir C1, modified to C1P and leased to the US Navy as F-21A with serial 999726 (with Fighter Squadron 43 as AD-06 and operated from NAS Oceana from mid-1985 to March 1988) . After the lease contract ended, the Kfir returned to Israel and was placed in storage at Tel Aviv-Ben Gurion from April 2001 to May 2006. It is known as preserved at Rishon-Le-Tsiyon with the Israeli Centre for Sport Aviation since May 2008. Note the two Syrian kills on the nose. It is not known if these are actual kills of 726.
