The F-5 is a lightweight, affordable supersonic fighter exported to dozens of nations. Agile and cheap to run, it still serves as a frontline fighter and aggressor trainer simulating enemy jets.
Fun fact
The US Navy and Air Force fly F-5s as 'aggressors' — painted in enemy colors to play the bad guys in dogfight training.
