Today the Pat. Suisse was for the fist time since the Leeuwarden crash compleet with 7 aircraft. Serials are : J-3081, 3083, 3084, 3087, 3089, 3090 and 3091. If i'm correct the 3089 is the 'new' aircraft.
J-3089 is new for the Patrouille. It had the same colors, but not the Patrouille titles. This one is a target-towing F-5, and is (or was) equipped with a target-pod.
