Northrup F-5E Tiger II 74-1554
Delivered to Alconbury on 14 June 1976. It initially carried the ‘Snake’ colour scheme, but by 1985 this had been changed to a two-tone grey scheme, as seen on the right. Note the toneddown 10th TRW badge in front of the intake, a rare case of an F-5 carrying unit markings.  74-1554 was damaged in a landing accident at Torrejon AB, Spain, on 16 April 1982, but repairs were completed in the summer of 1983. This F-5E was transferred to the US Navy and given BuNo 741554, departing Alconbury on 22 July 1988. It was written off by the Navy on Mar 13, 2012 (USAF Photo)
