Pilots from VFC-111 "Sundowners" perform a special airpower demonstration using five beautiful F-5N Tiger IIs during the Friday airshow at the NAS Key West Southernmost Air Spectacular. VFC-111 serves as adversaries/aggressors, a dedicated "bad guy" force that mimics enemy techniques in order to train US Navy pilots.
Look for special moments like the sneak passes, diamond break, and the F-5 drag chute demo!

@seung-jinhong8399 Год назад

@77knez Год назад

My uncle was a crew chief on F-4's in Vietnam and worked on several different aircraft including the F-5. He said that the inside of the wings on these is a honeycomb design. He said you had to be careful while working around the wings because they were so small and fragile. I guess it's all about weight saving when you have small engines like these do. Still, they are awesome little fighters and they look great with the camo paint schemes.

@terrenceescarda8951 Год назад

This video made my day! I worked on all of the Mig and Baron F-5E/Fs up until the day we gold plated them and sent them out of Nellis in the late 80s. These jets are absolutely immaculate and the Gomers flying them are razor sharp! I haven't seen Tiger aggressors fly since 1989. These birds looked and sounded great! The Gomer diamond looks as good as the Blues'!

@nicholasgifford23 Год назад

Well kinda. The twin seat F-5 is quite different from the T-38, although they look pretty similar

@Rogue-7.62 Год назад

Very, very different aircraft. You have too see them side by side and it really shows just how different. The F 5 is actually bigger for one, the wing design is also different.

@evangalinsky2499 Год назад

No The T-38 is essentially the prototype for the F-5. The F-5 is vastly different, no matter how close they look on the outside, they're still different there too, and the insides are completely foreign to one another. Not even close. Especially since these are F-5E's (actually N/M's, modernized E's used as aggressor aircraft), but even the F-5A is dramatically different.

@evangalinsky2499 Год назад

@@Rogue-7.62 the whole nose section is also completely different. Especially on these (E/N/M models), but still so on the A and C models as well, even without a radar.

@jeffissimo1221 Год назад

A few years ago, VFC-111 visited JRB NAS New Orleans for an airshow and they played the aggressor role in opposition to a flight of F-18s. It was an entertaining demonstration to say the least.

@fifteenbyfive Год назад

It's been said that the F-20 was the best fighter jet ever cancelled. Chuck Yeager loved it, that's enough for me to make up my mind. Watching these Tigers fly around I can see some F-105 in their fuselage, I can see some F-104 in their wings. Love the Soviet camo'd Tigershark Aggressor specimen, so cool. Please let me upscale this airframe by 10%, replace the engines and give it 15-20% more wing and I think I'll have an aircraft that we could sell today.

@evangalinsky2499 Год назад

The changes you suggested are basically what the F-20 was lmao, and if you change it much more, you end up with an F-16 or F-18, since both of those took heavy influence from the F-5's.

@fifteenbyfive Год назад

@@evangalinsky2499 The F-20 could still be sold today not sure what's so funny about that? For a lot of countries it's having almost no air force and having some F-20s. It wasn't sold. It wasn't sold because it wasn't manufactured. It'd be easy to sell it. You wouldn't buy it. You'd waste money you don't have on a plane you don't need.

The F-5E is still a superb fighter. I'm not surprised the Navy's upgrading their Tigers for the Aggressor Squadron and the fact they bought 44 retired Swiss F-5s says a lot. It's too bad new, more powerful and economical turbofan engines aren't in the works for this fantastic aircraft. Damn, this fighter is so beautiful.

I work on these just in MCAS Yuma, VMFT-401 , the F-5 is a WONDERFUL Airplane. It's powerful, fast, very small profile for the bad guys to see. It's inexpensive (compared to modern a/c). It can TURN GREAT! It's a fantastic aircraft for what we're using it for. It should/SHALL be used in this way for many more YEARS! I've been here in 401 for nearly 36 yrs.
