Photo Comment

Operated by 2 Squadron from Louis Trichardt (now Makhado). Painted in the 'Cheetah' scheme for the celebration of the SAAFs 75th Anniversary and nicknamed "Spotty" for obvious reasons. In 1996 the blue tail and anniversary logo were repainted with the Cheetahs tail! Withdrawn c2002 and still retains this colour scheme displayed at the SAAF Museum at Waterkloof.
