Built as Kfir C1 (IAF serial 791) and later modified to Kfir C1P. 791 was leased to the USN between Apr'85-May'88. The USN/USMC leased 25 Kfirs between '85 and '89, which were officially designated F-21A. They were modified for use as unarmed adversaries. 12 F-21s were painted in this 3-tone blue-gray "ghost" scheme and were operated by Fighter Squadron (VF) 43 "Challengers" ('AD'), operating out of Oceana. In 1988 they were returned and replaced by the F-16N. The other 13 were assigned to VMFAT-401 at MCAS Yuma (AZ), these were replaced by the F-5E in '89. 791 is last seen stored at Tel Aviv.

Delivered to the RAF as WW397 in 1954. To Halton for use as ground trainer 8060M in 1969. Moved to Lyneham for restoration to flying condition in 1979. Registered as G-BKHP in 1982, VH-OIL in 1994, ZK-SGN in 2002 then ZK-PPP in 2011.

Overnight stop on delivery flight with one other. Departed for Turin.

The first eight indonesian AF T-50's (serialled TT-5001 through TT-5008) - of a total of sixteen delivered - have initially worn this blue and yellow paint scheme. It appears that the TNI-AU planned to revive with those aircraft the "Elang Biru" display team, which was active between 1995 and 2000, flying F-16A's from Squadron 3 in the very same colors. The revival plans never materialised though and by now, all remaining T-50's wear a green / grey camo livery as per picture ID 417716. "TT" stands for "Tempur Taktis" or Tactical Fighter.

Never seen at Luqa before, this Turbolet paid us a very welcome visit in connection with the Arraiolos Group informal meeting of presidents of parliamentary and semi-presidential European Union member states, this year held in Malta.

One of a pair arriving for the event. This one would be used for the flying display. Zimbabwe's K-8s are operated by 2 Squadron at Gweru-Thornhill.
