Taken on strength by the Royal Canadian Air Force as 12732, 104732 is pictured in it's last days of service. On April 30, 1982 the fighter was engaged in air combat training with a CF-5 when control was lost and it entered a flat spin. Unable to recover, the pilot ejected and the jet crashed on the training range at Cold Lake, AB.
