Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter/Tiger II

The Northrop F-5A/B Freedom Fighter and F-5E/F Tiger II are a family of American supersonic lightweight fighters, capable of day air superiority and ground-attack missions. The first flight took place on July 30, 1959, and entered service in April 1964, with the 4441st Combat Crew Training School, United States Air Force (USAF). Privately funded by Northrop, work on the design started in the 1950s. Smaller and less complicated than contemporary fighters, with lower purchase and operating costs, made it a success in the export market. The first use in combat occurred during the Vietnam War with both the USAF and the Republic of Vietnam Air Force (RVAF).

The USAF did not purchase the F-5A/B, but selected the T-38 Talon, an advanced trainer based on the F-5A, to replace the Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star. The F-5E/F became favoured by the US military as an “aggressor” in Dissimilar Air Combat Training (DACT) due to its similarities to the MiG-21 and serves in this role with the US Air Force from 1975 until 1990, the US Navy and the US Marines Corps.

F-5 E/F Tiger II

The improved single-seat F-5E Tiger II first flew on August 11, 1972, and enter service on April 6, 1973, with the 425th TFS. The F-5F, tandem seat combat-capable trainer, first flight occurred on September 25, 1974. The RF-5E Tigereye was a reconnaissance variant. The F-5E differed from the earlier model with more powerful engines, longer wider fuselage, higher fuel capacity and optional air refuelling probe. Enlarged leading edge extensions increasing wing area, improving maneuverability. The undercarriage nose unit length could be adjusted, varying the angle of attack to shorten takeoff run. The avionics were more advanced and included air to air radar. The F-5A initially did not have radar but were retrofitted. Various avionic packages were available to meet customer requirements.

Northrop built 1,400 Tiger IIs before production ended in 1987. Canada, Spain, South Korea and Taiwan manufactured the F-5 under licence.
