This is former USAF F-5E 72-1398 that operated from Luke AFB in the 1980s. This old Tiger is still going strong in the Brazilian AF, although it is thought to be retired in 2025. It is seen here during the Cruzex exercise at Natal AB in 2024. This photo is copyright © Jonathan Verschuuren, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
