Everything Northrop made was elegant, perfectly suited, and always underrated.

My dad flew these before transitioning to the F-4E and later F-4G. He’s always dreamed of having an F-5 as his private jet, he loved that little plane.

To be honest, it would be best if this F-5A had been painted in Southeast Asia camouflage and in Vietnam air force (VNAF) of former South Vietnam markings as IMHO it was very iconic for the aircraft particularly the yellow/black checkerboard band on the aft fuselage. Now don't get me wrong, the Republic of Korea air force (ROKAF) livery of the F-5A was fine, but when it comes to Northrop F-5A/B Freedom fighter the South Vietnamese was immediately struck into my mind though.

Yes. Very well said. I was a bit disappointed when I realized the the polyurethane aluminum (‘Silver’) was the final finish. Of course that’s just my humble opinion and NOT my F-5A! Cheers!🇨🇦

I wonder why it was at the Air Force base. They never wanted the F-5, said it was too small, but the South Vietnamese knew it to be something else. It was a supreme MiG killer for its outstanding handling and quick acceleration in combat. Someone needs to ask why the Marines are buying up all the F-5 fighters that still fly.

Not many F-5s have served with U.S. forces, and mainly as agressor aircraft, and those were F-5E. There were no U.S. A models. So they painted it up to show an A model flown by a U.S. ally.

@1:13 -- Yep! It has the Grumman Tomcat emblem on the port (left) vertical tail. There MIGHT be an F-15 parked right by it. You can see what look like horizontal tails, the closest (port) marked with "HH" and ECM(?)/electronics on top of the horizontal tails like they would be on an F-15. It's a C-model... Not a lot of those in museums yet. Most museums that have F-15s have A-models. The F-14 is a D-model according to the museum website.

I always got a laugh out of the fact that when the USAF Thunderbirds switched from the F-4 to the T-38, the per hour operating costs of all six jets was equal to one phantom. Northrop built quite a gem. The fact the T-38 is serving in UPT for 55 years continuously says something about the genius of the N-156 design.

I wish our T-38s had been built with all the structural and performance upgrades the two seat F-5s had. Using such an aircraft only for advanced training, without having it carry heavy weapons loads, would have probably significantly reduced maintenance man hours per flight hour. The increased capability landing gear tires and brakes probably would have doubled or tripled the the number of landings and takeoffs per tire.

No, the T-38 and F-5 were TWO different jets. The T-38 was a 2-seat trainer. The F-5 was a single seat (although they did have a 2 seat version) fighter. The canopy was different on an F-5, the F-5 had twin nose cannons, tip tanks, engine vents on the spine, different engines, etc. The T-38 was strictly a trainer. Even the bug speeds on the two jets differed slightly due to weight and other factors.
