Swiss F-5s to US Navy

[DJdeRidder]

I just read the news that delivery of 44 Swiss F-5s to the US Navy has recently completed. Does anyone have a complete list of these aircraft? I currently have 41:

J-3001 sold to USA
J-3002 sold to USA as 761527
J-3003 sold to USA
J-3006 sold to USA as 761531
J-3007 sold to USA as 761528
J-3008 sold to USA
J-3009 sold to USA as 761534
J-3010 sold to USA as 761535
J-3011 sold to USA as 761536
J-3012 sold to USA as 761537
J-3016 sold to USA
J-3019 sold to USA as 761544
J-3020 sold to USA as 761545
J-3021 sold to USA as 761546
J-3022 sold to USA as 761547

J-3032 sold to USA as 761557
J-3034 sold to USA as 761559
J-3035 sold to USA as 761560
J-3037 sold to USA
J-3039 sold to USA as 761564
J-3040 sold to USA as 761565
J-3045 sold to USA as 761570
J-3046 sold to USA as 761571
J-3047 sold to USA
J-3049 sold to USA as 761574
J-3050 sold to USA as 761575
J-3051 sold to USA as 761576
J-3053 sold to USA
J-3054 sold to USA
J-3058 sold to USA as 761583
J-3060 sold to USA
J-3061 sold to USA as 761586
J-3064 sold to USA as 761589
J-3066 sold to USA

I am still missing three examples in this list.. I would guess J-3043 and J-3055 were also sold, as they were last noted in 2006. Could anyone confirm this, or tell me which others were sold?

Well, you probably have looked at the Scramble database too.

J-3043 is last noted 27-01-2006.
J-3055 is last noted 25-10-2006

I know I'm not giving you an answer but as Swiss F-5E's are quite regularly seen it's at least remarkable that these 2 haven't been seen for almost 3 and almost 2 years...
It doesn't mean anything but I wouldn't be surprised if these 2 are in the USA.

I've also made researches in the last weeks, and our results are here:

specific list: http://www.flugzeugforum.de/forum/showp ... ostcount=3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

In Magazine Air International is also written, that some Tigers will put together for doubleseaters.

And yes, 3043 is already 'picturiced' in US-colours, but from 3055 I've found yet no picture.

Thanks Grimmi!
