Sorry to butt in but I think that what Vipat means is that J-5017 is a "squadron" plane.

Switzerland had 4 specially marked Hornets.

J-5017 Carries the markings of 17 Sqn (Falcons), J-5018 is marked for 18Sqn (Panthers) and J-5011 is the Tiger marked plane of 11 Sqn (Tigers).

There is also J-5026 which was the last Hornet delivered. It seems that the Swiss like to mark the last delivered plane of a series, the same was done to the Hawk and F-5E.

J-5026 Has a rather funny cartoon martian in a UFO painted on the port side of the forward fuselage.

Markings for 5017 and 18 are available in 72 and 48 scale:
