 Royal Saudi Air Force
The Royal Saudi Air Force [RSAF] was established in 1950 during the reign of Abd al Aziz.
United States influence, emanating from the air base at Dhahran that was leased by the United States from 1952 to 1962, was also pivotal to the early development of the Saudi air force.
In 1972 the first of 114 Northrop F-5s were delivered to the RSAF and, as of 1992, the air force still used three squadrons of later versions of the F-5 in the fighter-ground attack role, one squadron for reconnaissance, and a number of aircraft as advanced jet trainers.

 F-15S: Saudi Strike Eagle
MCAir's Saudi export Strike Eagle was dubbed the F-15XP (later renamed the F-15S) and, like the Israeli F-15I, was essentially a stripped-down F-15E.
