dd 10aug63, 331skv "FN-F" lateron "630" (aug63-jul81) to Turkey on 15jul81

Note: This Starfighter was one of many delivered to Norway via the USS Croatan which arrived at Agag harbour on August 6th, 1963. It also had a RF-104G camera housing like lots of the early Norwegian Starfighters did. They did not wear camera's and soon were removed during the first maintenance cycle (or IRAN). This 61-2630 has been participating in a squadron exchange in May/June 1970 with a RAF squadron based at Leuchars Air Base and also a squadron exchange with a RAF squadron based at Gutersloh Air Base in September 1975. A year later, August 1976 it received overhaul (IRAN) at Fokker-AvioDiepen, Ypenburg, Holland.
After phase out in Norway (total flying hours 3777,5) the aircraft was transferred to Turkey under MAP regulations (via the USAF). It was flown over just as other Norwegian MAP aircraft to Sculthorpe, UK where it arrived July 8th, 1981. At Sculthorpe the aircraft received Turkish markings and was flown over to Turkey on July 15th, with a nightstop at Grosseto, arriving at Murted Air Base July 16th.
