Former USAF 67-21165, and former Royal Norwegian Air Force 165 where it was withdrawn from use on 8 November 1982. It was delivered (on paper via the USA) from Sola (Norway) to Aviano air base (Italy) on 3 August 1983. It was then flown over to Türkiye on 12 August 1983. It is seen here on a kind-of static display for military participants only during a NATO exercise at Bandirma. The weather was terrible, and Kodachrome was not cooperative.
