Today we present this air to air snap, dated September 26th, 1969, showing a Northrop F-5 of the 425th Tactical Fighter Training Squadron. Newly-re-designated from the 4441st Combat Crew Training Squadron, and flying out of Williams AFB, Arizona, the outfit was at the time tasked with training South Vietnamese pilots to fly the F-5.
The jet in the photo is an F-5C, formerly used for the 'Skoshi Tiger' program, which was an evaluation of the F-5's combat effectiveness in an attempt to promote foreign sales of the type. Your blogmeister wrote an article about 'Skoshi Tiger' for another blog, which you can see HERE.
Enjoy, and Tổ Quốc - Không Gian...
