In service with the R/CAF from 1968 to 1995, this F-5 was used first as a tactical fighter and trainer with 434 Sqdn in Cold Lake, Alberta. In 1976, it was transferred to 419 'Moose' Sqdn at the same base where it was used mainly for training, gaining a squadron commemorative scheme using the national colours . It entered storage at the Aircraft Maintenance Development Unit at CFB Trenton in 1995, joining the museum there two years later. Another outdoor exhibit looking somewhat weathered.
