| The May 2012 issue of Combat aircraft magazine says Brazil is continuing to upgrade it's fleet of F-5 Tigers. They just recently acquired 11 ex-Jordanian F-5s and are upgrading them to the F-5EM/FM standard. They also just finished upgrading 46 other F-5's. This just reinforces what a great design the F-5 was and how it is still able to be adapted for use today. Amazing fighter!!!!! |

The F-5 and T-38 share some purposeful and clean lines.
No fat on that girl, nice flat tummy, all business. |

| I'm curious if the A-Darter will see integration? Talk about cost-effective Air-defense. |

Stone cold truth right there. With all of the MiG-21s out there getting upgrade makeovers, it only makes sense for the F-5s out there to receive the same. Probably cheaper and easier as well!  |

| The F-5 has a trainer backbone. It's designed for the long haul abuse unlike most straight-up fighters. |
