Photo Comment

This Tigereye (FMS serial 84-0194) became 1708 in Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) service. The aircraft was withdrawn from use from 10sq (operating out of Taif/King Fahd Air Base) in the late nineties. Northrop used the aircraft in 1983 during its promotion campaign for the type at the international trade show at Le Bourget.
