The F-5A serial number 662 was one of the original Ethiopian Freedom Fighters, delivered in 1966, but already wearing this standardised pattern (variously named as ‘Asia Minor’ or ‘Flogger’) consisting of dark sand FS20400, dark earth FS30140 and dark green FS34079. Unusually, the anti-glare panel in front of the cockpit (in dark green) was left in place. It is shown carrying one of the heaviest payloads deployed during the war, primarily during the fighting between Harar and Dire Dawa in August and September 1977, carrying one multiple ejector rack with six Mk.82 GP-bombs.
