Worked on F-5’s in the mid-70’s. They were used in training exercises to simulate Russian Migs against F-15’s. They were so good that the USAF F-15 squadron made them paint bright yellow stipes on the F-5’s so the F-15 pilots could see them. Somehow, I always doubted the Russians would have been so accomodating!

I’ve always thought they were a particularly beautiful variety of fighter jet.
