Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter и Tiger II

   Первый прототип легкого одноместного истребителя F-5A Freedom Fighter выполнил первый полет в мае 1963 года. Он послужил базой для разработки целого семейства самолетов. "Canadair" строила одно- и двухместные CF-5A/D и NF-5A/B для ВВС Канады и Нидерландов, соответственно. Снятые с вооружения в Канаде и Нидерландах машины позже передали Ботсване, Турции и Венесуэле. По состоянию на 2001 год самолеты F-5 первого поколения состояли на вооружении в Южной Корее, Бразилии, Греции, Иране, Марокко, Норвегии, Венесуэле, Саудовской Аравии, Испании, Таиланде, Турции, Йемене, на Филиппинах и Тайване. Венесуэльские VF-5A/D прошли ограниченную модернизацию силами компании "Singapore Technologies Aerospace".

ВВС Голландии выбрали для своих самолетов тактический темно-зеленый/темно-серый камуфляж, хорошо подходивший для условий севера Европы, где им предстояло действовать. Двухместные NF-5B (на рисунке) получили аналогичную окраску.
USA
Прототип F-5B впервые поднялся в воздух 24 февраля 1964 года. Первый серийный вариант был принят ВВС США в течение месяца, а 30 апреля 1964 года самолет поступил на вооружение.
F-5B
Первоначально работа ВВС США с F-5A/B ограничивались лишь испытанием самолетов и подготовкой летного и наземного персонала стран-покупателей.

Spain
Практически все покупатели вместе с одноместными F-5 приобретали двухместные модификации. К настоящему времени одноместные F-5 с вооружения ВВС Испании сняты, однако спарки SF-5B, доработанные в F-5BM, остаются на вооружении и используются как самолеты повышенной подготовки летчиков.
Two crews from Ala 23 based at Talavera qualified in opposing force operations and flew daily missions with their veteran, yet capable modernized F-5Ms.
Within the next five years the Ejercito del Aire will retire its fleets of F-5M Freedom Fighters and C101 Aviojet trainers.

Argentine Air Force pilots have been temporarily assigned to Ala 23 at Talavera for several years.
The last phase of fighter pilot training at Talavera is usually dedicated to air-to-air and air-to-ground missions.
Three F-5Ms taxi to the runway at Torrejon Air Base near Madrid to take part in a flypast. Equipped with modern avionics, the F-5M is a capable aircraft for students to fly and transition to combat units.

In mid-2016 the MAESAL will deliver to Ala 23 at Talavera the final F-5M to have undergone a complete structural overhaul at its facilities. A civilian contractor will upgrade the last aircraft.
Although its primary mission has always been training, the F-5M maintains a capability to employ weapons, some of which are loaded on aircraft AE9-07.
Exchanges and exercises with the Royal Moroccan Air Force take place every year. An F-5M waits at the runway threshold along with a Moroccan F-5E during Exercise NAVIMAES.
Talavera Air Base shares its runway with a civilian airport.
Training missions flown by Ala 23 from Talavera last a little over an hour, although air-to-air sorties are shorter due to the greater use of afterburner during manoeuvring.
Выпущенные CASA SF-5B используются испанцами в качестве учебно-боевых истребителей повышенной подготовки. Из 34 построенных спарок на вооружении 23-го авиакрыла остаются немногим более 20 модерниированных F-5BM.
During a period lasting nearly 50 years, Ejercito del Aire F-5Ms have been used to train more than 2,000 fighter pilots. Despite its age, periodic upgrades have given optimum performance to train pilots.
This experimental colour scheme was applied to F-5 AE9-027 in 2007, probably to simulate the profile of an F-18 Hornet during an air defence exercise. The scheme was soon abandoned.
An F-5M from the Ala 23 returns to Talavera following an air-to-air mission with a Eurofighter from Ala 11 at Moron.
During each course there are typically three periods of flying during which students receive the necessary instruction before being assigned to Ejercito del Aire fighter squadrons.
F-5B serial number AE9-10 was the prototype for a structural modernisation programme undertaken by Israel Aircraft Industries and CASA. It is shown returning from its first test flight, having yet to receive a grey paint scheme.
Turkey
The Turkish Air Force Northrop F-5B was used as a ’chase plane during the 1971 Airsouth Fighter Weapons Meet.

Two Turkish Air Force Northrop NF-5B-2000 lead-in fighter trainers, from 133 Filo at Konya, were on static display. They have been upgraded with new avionics, including a new head-up display, hands-on throttle and stick, a multi-function colour display in both cockpits and an embedded GPS/inertial navigation system radar altimeter. New pilots fly this type in the Turkish Air Force before proceeding onto the F-16 and McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II.
Turkey has upgraded 48 of its F-5s lead-in fighters with new avionics. Designated F-5-2000, they are officially known as the Penceler (Little Claws) and sport similar markings to the other aircraft in the Turkish Air Force tactical fleet.
Norway
The Northrop F-5 has served the RNoAF well over more than 30 years, the upgraded examples flying with No 336 Skv at Rygge as fighter lead-in trainers. The picture was taken recently on a sortie from the squadron’s base in southern Norway.
