The F-5A serial number 661 was the rst ever delivered to Ethiopia. It was retained in this livery during the Ogaden War, when it flew a number of combat sorties, often armed with LAU-61 pods for unguided 2.71in rockets. Grounded at some point during the war, possibly due to some sort of combat damage, it was subsequently used as a source of spares, and was last seen in operational condition inside one of the maintenance hangars at Debre Zeit AB in 1979.
