I am not certain of the identification of the next group I am presenting.
All are photographs I took at the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio in July of
'06. Help will be appreciated. Once again, the photographs were taken
with
a hand held digital camera in usually atrocious lighting. My apologies
for
the lack of quality.
I believe this is the twin-engined F-5E.

It's a twin engined F-5A Freedom Fighter, as used during the Skoshi Tiger
program. First of all: the Paint job gives it away, this was the camouflage
used in SE Asia. Second: the wingtip fueltanks are a give away: they were
(almost?) exlusively used on A, B, C and D model F-5s, whereas the F-5E/F
models had AIM-9 Sidewinder missile rails mounted. Sidewinder rails were
used on A- and B-model F-5s, I know that the (ex-)RNLAF (KLU) Canadair NF-5s
used them.
