Northrup F-5E Tiger II 74-1569
Origionally allocated to the 64th Fighter Weapons Squadron, Nellis AFB, Nevada in 1976, it was transferred to the 527th TFTAS at Alconbury as an attrition replacement on 29 March 1982. It carried the silver-grey finish as shown in the photograph, with a red code outlined in yellow, during its entire stay at Alconbury. In May 1988, the aircraft was flown to RAF Kemble for storage, from where the aircraft was delivered to Morocco via Zaragoza AB, Spain as 01569 on 8 April 1992, having spent four years in storage. The photo shows 74-1554 and 74-1569 in flight, somewhere over the UK in 1987.  (USAF photo SSgt Fernando Serna)
