<p>c/n N.7078
Built 1970 and was the last F-5 built for Norway.
Allocated US military serial 69-7134 for delivery purposes but serving with the Royal Norwegian Air Force only as ‘134’.
She was one of seven F-5As upgraded between 1991 and 1994 under the Program for Avionics and Weapon Systems (known as ‘TIGER-PAWS’), the aircraft having an avionics refit to replicate an F-16 cockpit.
The final F-5 unit, 336 squadron, disbanded in June 2000, but ‘134’ was one of 15 aircraft kept active to participate in the ‘Eye of the Tiger’ (EoT) test program for the Norwegian ‘Penguin’ anti-ship missile. Wearing full ‘Tiger’ livery, she was finally retired in 2007 and joined the museum soon after.
On display in the Military Aircraft Hall of the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum (Norwegian Aviation Museum).
Bodø, Northern Norway
