Delivered to the Flugwaffe as part of the US Foreign Military Sales program with serial 76-1551. The Tiger was assembled at Emmen and accepted by the Swiss on 31 October 1979. It was noted withdrawn from use at Meiringen in 2000. After a storage period, the Tiger was sold to the US Navy, modified to F-5N, and started to serve as an adversary aircraft with BuNo 761551 by May 2004.
