Here's a sight, two retired Swiss F-5s converted to US Navy Adversary aircraft. The Navy is going to use these F-5N's to train fleet pilots in adversary tactics.I'm kinda surprised on the plane choice but I'm sure they have their reasons. The F-5 used to pull adversary duty with USAF Aggressors but now F-16s and F-15s do it. The Navy definitely won't be simulating SU-30's with these completely outmatched F-5s.
Maybe they want to teach them not to rely to heavily on modern technology and more on good ol' pilot skills; anyway, just guessing :)
ReplyDeleteThat´s a good shot nevertheless! Good F-5 pics are so hard to come by! Being a Ace Combat 5 player, I have quite some love for it!
