Two F-5Bs of the Turkish Air Force visited Gilze Rijen during a pre-visit for an upcoming squadron rotation with 314sq. This 01408 was a former USAF aircraft, was used for the training of Royal Saudi Air Force pilots in the USA in the early 1980s, and then delivered in a Military Assistance Program (MAP) to Turkey in 1986. The aircraft was withdrawn from use by the Turkish Air Force by June 2013. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
