Photo Comment

In November of 1968, this airframe was delivered new to the Royal Saudi AF's 16 Sqn based in Jeddah, carrying serial "1606". In June 2002, it was assigned to the RSAF's 4 Sqn and re-serialled to "479". It was put up for sale - being an older E-Model - around 2007 and consequently bought by the Turkish AF, which assigned serial "68-01606" to it, a mix of the year of manufacture and the first serial it carried while flying for the Royal Saudi AF.
