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.
