Note the Made in Poland stencil behind the serial below the cockpit window.

Originally operated by the East German Air Force's, Luftstreitkräfte der Nationalen Volksarmee, JG-3. After the East German military was integrated into the unified German Bundeswehr, it served with the Luftwaffe's JG 73 until sold to Poland for a symbolic 1 euro becoming 4115 with 41st Air Tactical Squadron until retired in 2007 and donated to the museum in April 2008.

This Fitter's markings are very faded, but on the oppsite the serial 01 is legible.
