The Hellenic Air Force was the first European air force to receive the Freedom Fighter. The first F-5As were delivered in 1965, and over the next 8 years a total of about 70 F-5A/Bs were operational. The Hellenic Air Force bought an additional 10 F-5A/Bs from Iran in 1975, and around the same period another batch of 10 F-5A/Bs were acquired from Jordan. Another 10 were acquired from Norway in 1986, and a final 10 NF-5As were purchased from the Netherlands in 1991. The total number of F-5s in operation (including the ex-Iranian machines, 34 RF-5As, and 20 F-5Bs) in the Hellenic Air Force was about 120 aircraft, from 1965 to 2002, when the last F-5 was decommissioned and the type went out of operation in the Hellenic Air Force.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.haf.gr/el/mission/weapons/historic/1951_1973/f-5.asp |title=Northrop F-5A/B και NF-5A/Β Freedom Fighter |publisher=[[Greek Air Force|Πολεμική Αεροπορία]] |language=Greek |access-date=12 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131015053658/http://www.haf.gr/el/mission/weapons/historic/1951_1973/f-5.asp |archive-date=15 October 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
