The Northrop F-5 Enthusiast - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Here at Reno, Nevada, USA we have a company that owns five F5 aircraft. They are used for combat training against pilots of the United States Navy combat school ("Top Gun School".) It requires only 20 people to maintain these five aircraft, and each one flies about twice a week.
In Norway we had a expression for this plane: ”The nice weather moped”.
At 336 squadron, they called it the flying (Volkswagen) Beetle.
Thanks for this video! It was very educational.
Love this!! Thank you for posting I'm looking forward for more!
Great! I've always loved that aircraft. Cant wait for video two. Thank you.
The F5 is still in operation here in Brazil.
Tunisia too
Chile too
México tambien.
Hondura tambien .
Thank you Magnar for another fantastic video. And now i hit the after burners on my way to part 2 😁👍
Great video, you know a lot!
And some cool original footage!
Wonderful presentation and great history lesson. Thank you for sharing.
Hello from Taiwan, largest and still current user of the F-5 family outside of US. Very well organized documentary!
As a F-5 mechanic, this tiger is tough.
This channel is criminally undersubbed!
I worked on the trainer model T-38-A in 1964. We also trained F-5 Pilots.
I love your video and I love this plane.I was lucky enough to see them in action,long time ago.What a magnificent shape that was.Thank you Cpt Nordal and happy landings to you,too.
Cool to see myself in Your video! Nice 🤗
😁
Liked the way you landed the 5😁
Hi @FlywithMagnar , thank you for producing these videos. The F-5 A and E and later G (Tigershark) are one of my favorite aircraft family in aviation hstory. DO you have information on how the wing is attached to the fuselage?
Thanks for making these videos! Have you had the opportunity to fly some of these older lightweight jets like this one, or the A-4? Possibly a MiG-21?
Unfortunately, no. The F-5 link trainer is the closest I ever have been flying a jet.
I flew the CF-5 (CF-116) in what was then called the Canadian Armed Forces. While delightful to fly, as a war machine it left much to be desired, such as RWR, Radar and enough dry thrust. In joint exercises we always got creamed either before or after marking our targets. It was like walking through a shooting gallery wearing a blindfold and earplugs. The 104 was a much better tool of war. Apoxia due to the touchy pressure/oxygen system was also a problem. If you started really enjoying flying it at altitude, you were probably in an oxygen deprived state! In the final analysis I feel the F-5 was a plane for a plane's sake, rather than an effective and survivable weapon system.
@@royalcityjazz the problem was that Canada literally ordered what was basically the base spec of the F-5, as most of things you mentioned were options except more thrust, for that, no amount of money in the world could get you more.
La Monarquía de IRAN , fue la primer Fuerza Aerea que recibió los primeros NORTHROP F-5 FREEDON FIGHTER y luego los países de la NATO y de otros lugares .
Más de 25 Fuerzas Aéreas, utilizaron los F-5 en sus distintas versiones.
Construidos bajo licencia en ESPAÑA, CANADÁ y HOLANDA .
Su fuselaje con la regla del área y una aerodinámica superior.
Primeras entregas a IRAN en 1964 .
La versión F-4 E entró en servicio en 1974 , versión mas avanzada y que modernizada sigue en servicio en la actualidad en varios paises.
Maybe you could try DCS F-5E simulator.
Which is the best bang for the buck fighter, is it Mig21, A4, F5 or Mirage 3?
Tusen takk for en flott video. Lærte en del nytt om F5. Videoen har fått tommel opp og abonnement er startet.
Jeg så nylig en annen video her med en lavtflygende F5. Noe jeg fant spesielt interessant var at flyet brukte en rakett booster (Jato/Rato)
Jeg ønsker å bygge en F5 modell sammen med barnebarnet men har så langt ikke klart å finne bilder av hvordan denne boosteren ser ut. Har du tips til hvor jeg kan finne noe?
Om du besøker Flysamlingen på Gardermoen, så vil du se en C-130 med JATO-flasker på skroget. Eller så kan du sende en epost til mn@flywithmagnar.com og jeg vil sende deg et bilde.
@@FlywithMagnar Tusen takk. Jeg sender PM.
Do you have DCS F-5E on your computer?
No, but a friend has. And he has recorded some nice videos for me.
@@FlywithMagnar I think you can also buy sim hardware for DCS, set up your F5 cockpit at home
A have ❓sir. can f 20 tiger sharks be use to day for low income county
If the F-20 had been in produciton today and updated with modern avionics, then the answer is yes. The cheapest flighter to purchase and operate today is the SAAB Gripen, and it would have been a strong contender.
Brazil still uses the F-5, extensively updated with modern avionics, just like Magnar said. It is still a capable fighter if that's done (only Brazil did this), but there's no future for it in the next decades, it has received all of the possible updates and it won't keep up in the future. They are also old, aircraft frames have a limited life, which will be reached on the longest flying planes.
So, for the one country that did update them, they are still useful. But it's not a good idea to invest on them now, because they won't keep up for much longer.
That airplane is a MIG 28 not F5.
????
Lol yes ..in top gun op force
Came here to make this joke..Damn!
@@joaobordini3903 OK....
Foresten Magnar.. En dag fortjener jeg en tur men kenneth. Får begynne å spare... Stefatter og kompisen min har flydd med han.
Also known as the tigershark
Un avion prácticamente nuevo el Tiburón Tigre F-20 de 1981 con motor potente G.E. 404 que le permitía operar a Mach 2 .
Solo se construyeron tres prototipos.
I cannot think of any jet fighter that would not be able to whip an F-5 under most conditions.
