Delivered to Switzerland as part of the US Foreign Military Sales program with serial 76-1553. The Tiger was assembled at Emmen and delivered to the Schweizer Luftwaffe on 14 November 1979. At the time of this picture, the right side of J-3028 did not show a unit marking. The Tiger was written off after a crash near the Schaenis (Switserland) on 4 July 1996. The pilot managed to eject on time and was saved. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
