Taken on strength in March 1983, this two seat Hornet was in service by May at CFB Cold Lake. Later with Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment, it wore a special color scheme after 2003. Retired circa 2010 and stored at CFB Trenton used for spares. The aircraft was life-limited to 2,000 airframe hours due to early wing attachment design.
