Photo Comment

There aren't many active F-5s in the U.S. Military inventory anymore. This example is wearing a grey Soviet style colourscheme with a Red Star on the tail. It is used as an aggressor and operated by VMFT-401 'Snipers'. Originally delivered to the USAF as 73-0855 and a South Vietnam survivor.
