Former Swiss Air Force serial J-3061 was delivered by May 2004. It is one of three Franken-Tigers, composite aircraft from old US aircraft (cockpit and tail) and Swiss AF aircraft (Centre section).. The aircraft was rolled-out on 23 April 2008 at Northrop Grumman's plant St. Augustine (FL), all white c/s with red and black cheatline. The Franbken Tiger made its maiden flight on 25 November 2008 and was delivered to VMFT-401 "Snipers" on 9 December 2008. Anyone an idea which Tigers were used to complete this aircraft?
