The Cheetah C was the ultimate development of the type, which was essentially an updated IAI Kfir C2, itself based on the Dassault Mirage III airframe. This example, known as ‘Spotty’, gained this colour scheme in 1995 to celebrate 75 years of the SAAF. It became an Airshow celebrity before retiring directly to the South African Air Force Museum, where it remains on display in Hangar 3. Swartkop Airfield, Pretoria, South Africa.
