on 4 May 1977, and carried the ‘Old Lizard’ colour scheme. Initially the code on the nose was smaller and red (like on the F-5s at Nellis), but this was soon changed to a black code, outlined in yellow, as on this photograph, taken at Alconbury. It was later repainted in the grey colour scheme, but with a red code outlined in yellow. The aircraft was transferred to the US Navy as BuNo 741563, departing Alconbury on 22 July 1988. (USAF Photo)
