Thank you. I was with the 65th Aggressor Squadron out of Nellis AFB Las Vegas. We had the little F-5E Tiger II

Photobucket that we used to play the bad guys. Not only did we fly at Nellis, we had a 6 plane 50 man team on the road 50 weeks out of the year. Christmas and Newyears were the only time all the planes and airmen were home.

The Aggressors are still in business btw, but now they use more up to day aircraft.

One last photo and best of all, a chuckle at Iran's rulers expense...

Photobucket

This is suppose to be Iran's new high tech invisible aircraft. Notice that it is nothing more than our 1970's tech F-5E with twin tails? They didn't even remove the back bone bracing where the original vertical tail goes.
