- F-5 Tigers from VFC-13 SAINTS and VMFT-401 SNIPERS, taxi in and back out for an exercise. Afterwards, one of the F-5's from VFC-13 does a few go-arounds before finally landing on the left runway.

The F-5 never gets old. Very cool to see our Navy and Marines keeping this aircraft alive.
O
I was stationed at Fallon 92 to 95, A.I.M.D., loved watching these little rockets take off and land. They were part of the aggressor squadrons there and they were awesome. Hard to believe something so small could be so damned fast. And nevermind the agility these things had/have. Insane little jets.
Never get enough of the F-5's. Greatest little fighters ever!
I love the F-5E! It's like a sports car compared to the bigger jets.
O
I had the privilege of flying in 00 with VMFT-401 back in 2002. What a sweet ride. The things those pilots go through is crazy. My hat is off to them.
Hey! Same birds and paint scheme as in DCS World! Love it! Best bird for me in the sim.
The two seater is "Frankentiger" They took the nose/cockpit of an F model added to the rest of an E, former Swiss Air force. I fly R/C versions done up as VMFT-401 and VFC-13. Never get tired of the F-5!
@336kgf The 2 seaters are F5 F models
F-5 is a legend. Very good looking aircraft really
At WTI in early 1980 I had the opportunity to look at an F-5 up close. I thought if I was a Tin Hat 3rd world honcho I would want F-5's and A-4's for my Air Force. Both beautiful, proven and easy to maintain.
An agile and impressive aircraft,now used for USN-USMC air combat training
great video as always sir! I never knew about the nose gear raising before take off..
F-5s may be old but they still look awesome.
I was stationed in NAS Fallon Nevada 69/71 Great Duty Station.
All my buddies work that plane! Rah.
that tiger B still is one of the top sexiest most gorgeous fighter planes ever.
The T-38, F-5 was built with the Soviet mindset... Build it strong and reliable, easy to maintain and make it inexpensive, so you have build millions of them. Id rather have 200 F-5's than 5 F-15's... Numbers baby, wins EVERYTIME
The nose-gear extension @2:55 is nice have not seen that before.
the F-5 has such a long nose and small looking inlets.
The red stars on the tails where odd.
Nice video.....love the T38 too........really nice closeups
1:30 at the back seat of VMFT-401 bird you can see guy called "Coochie". He is one of the pilots in great documetary called Speed and angels.
WOW got to love the F-5 :D SICK vid as always my friend love every second
@nathanairchimesP135R They are Aggressor Squadrons, so they try and be the bad guys when practicing dog fighting. They are painted up that way so you can tell they are aggressors jets and not some one from your squadron
The F-5 is hot chit... Cheap to fly, cheap to keep... Plenty out there to buy up from allies, before they realize the true value.
I painted the star on the fwd seat of that F-5F. I'm famous.
Wue
i grow up with its nice roar in Vahdati AFB.
Beautiful, I lovethe F-5. Put two aces in a dogfight against eachother. One ina an F-5 and one in a SU-27. Who wins? Exactly...F-5 : )
Jeremias Drumond
F-5E has radar, SU-27 doesn't.
So dogfight won't happen. The F-5 fire the sidewinder and turn around.
I thought they weren't flying F-5s anymore. Or am I wrong? I think the 2 seater is a T-38.
Fantastic alas volantes
thanks for the info
Awesome video, man! The F-5's in this video are so beautiful:-)
Liked! ;-) Greetz
"I'm going to step on the breaks and fly right by them!" "YOU'RE GONNA WHAT!?"
WOW 11 YEARS OLD
What a beauty she is!!
@CAPTJACKAUBREY69 to be fair, they're based on the same design and look a hell of a lot alike :P
Weird how the Single seats say NAVY on the sides ?
wow my step dad was flying the 2 seater callsign name "coach" ha Thats legit :)
I can just smell the jet fuel, I really like these jets, very sporty eh...
Everyone thinks Lockheed-Martin cheats or buys their contract wins. When they joined KAI to design a new trainer & fighter they used the F-5/T-38 as the model to replicate. The Marines are trying to buy all the working F-5s they can find, and L-M/KAI knew that. The new FA-50/T-50A are the new replacements with the same speed Mach 1.5 and it can turn on a dime. Northrup pulled out the competition I think as much as someone beat them to punch than not have a capable design. I saw their prototype and it looked so much like the F-5/T-38 it was almost the next generation. The Marines and Navy design most of their planes to have a pilot and bombardier navigator, and FA-50 is the child of the F-5 with stadium seats. Oh yeah Iran bought these planes instead of the Russian or Chinese counterpart. That says much about the capability of the new plane.
What's the 2 seated F-5 doing along with the two 1 seated F-5s ? I was expecting each F-5 to have a single seat.
2 seats for training
lol, puts his gear back up, "i'm going back for Cougar" wrong plane i know, but same era. i love f5s, so sexy.
Not quite. Same basic airframe but F-5 has more powerful engines and the ability to carry weapons and drop tanks.
How do you know all this...is it because parts and maintain is less money
@lst1195 raising the nose helps shorten the take off.
En honduras hay 12 f5 y los estan repotenciando
alfonso bonilla mentiras ningun f-5 esta en reparacion, debido a q no hay dinero y EEUU no lo permite los tienen bloqueados para que Israel los repare, todos los f-5 están en suelo
looool...
I bet the MIG 28!!! exists as well (part of the joke)...
That's how you taxi.
You can always tell a VFC 43 aircraft
how did you get so close???
It’s called zoom
Anyone ever flown or worked on F-5's? I am curious about a couple things.
brettt777 I did 9 years on them with VFA-127 and VFC-13 back in 1989-97 NAS Fallon Nevada
@@deehomer8194 you probably worked with my grandpa he was with strike warfare and 127, Leo Bailey is his name
@@gregbailey1479 He was a friend and co worker of me and my wife, We Love Leo Bailey amazing human being and was a special man to work for made people feel wanted and needed and honored. Teamwork was one for all and all for one with Leo..Respects
@@deehomer8194 he passed away 5 years ago, he used to take me out to hanger 5 and let me sit in the jets,hes very much missed,he raised me and taught me everything he knew about aircraft and the Navy,I'm sure I met you when I was a kid, good talking with you Sir, you have a great night.
Why? You don’t own one.
Do you know why they have Soviet-looking stars on them?
Because these are used as DACT aircraft
@336kgf F-5 = T-38 with bigger engines, F-20=F-5 with one BIG engine.
old fly-by-wire reliable fighter jet though,
I noticed that the second F-5 has two seats.
cornrowcity
The 2 seats doesn't have cannon
@@hv1615 this one does not, but mine do. None of the E have cannon either. The 2 seater are F-5Fs
Everything from Northrop or Grumman or Republic.. last forever if they want.
whats the red star for
These F5 serve in the Adversary Program. They simulate Russian tactics for to prepare other squadron for war dogfighting. The red star symbolize the Russian adversary.
Russia
God bless Russia from the Divided States of Corporate America
People that say these are putdated they are still sick fighter jets Mexico still uses them just fof.national defence we dont really need them but we might but new jets this year YAY! :)
Hike the nose!!
If you love jets you NEED to check out Digital Combat Simulator. There are some really great videos on TH-cam!
I love Jets and I Can't Stand DCS And People who Comment about It !
@@mrandrossguy9871 guess thats your problem. You seem more like an ace combat type of person anyways. Lol
oh
Oi
Why the red stars in the tails?
Fernando Mendes Aggressor training? Makes them look like old Soviet fighters?
No. It's only symbolic, and nobody at the squadron would call them aggressors. It is or was "fleet advisory squadron" now it is composition squadron. Oh, how do I know? I worked there for 10 years.
F5e is tiger ii aka the aggressor
But I still take it the idea is to make them look like Soviet/Russian aircraft and play the part of an enemy aircraft in training exercises? How else would it be 'symbolic'?
Cause I felt like it
@336kgf Yea aint it, I hate Top Gun. Course Iron Eagle wasnt much better.
@superskullmaster Red Flag was much worse. Trust me.
the t-38 is the same as the f-5
F-5 easier to fly, alot more power too.
2,200' take off roll
Nope
@TURKEYpilot101 lol im a idot my dad fixes F16
Where's Brock Lesnars f 5
What a Brock leaner
If you like F-5 you should watch this:
th-cam.com/video/mf3QdOHs6AU/w-d-xo.html
hey these are not f-5 they are MiG 28!!!!!!. have .u never wachetd top gun? lol kidding!
wow cant even land the plane.... so sad
這是美國的假想敵中隊嗎？
Does that F-5 driver not know the meaning of the words slow down? His approach speed is way too fast!
+Jake Kellogg The number 1 plane on the first landing purposely landed a little further down the runway not knowing how close the number 2 and 3 planes were. I've had controllers tell me to land short and get off the runway as quick as possible due to someone being right behind me.
Final approach speed is 155 knots when you have 1000lbs fuel or less.
Every 100lbs over 1000lbs fuel they must add 1 knot.
Usually when they land, fuel consumption around 1500-2000 lbs.
1gallon JP4 = 6.5lbs.
Internal fuel 583 gallons, centerline tank 150 gallons
ahahaha, look at the Ruskies... This is crazy... War exercises against the "Russians." BTW, I know for a fact that many so-called "enemy-nations" use the F-5 as their primary fighter.
