Yep, G-91 only ever operated by the GAF, IAF and the Portuguese AF.
Interesting you say that about the G-91 and the Lightning, as on a motoring forum the other day, I was mildly amused at an off topic aviation post where by one 'spotter' was trying to tell another that the Lightning had a poor rate of turn and couldn't turn below 300kts.......I don't think either was old enough to have ever seen the beast fly, let alone anything else, but it made me laugh.
