Stratos 3,192 Posted September 11, 2012 Is this the famous "Skoshi Tiger"?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derk 265 Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Looks indeed like the F-5C, nicknamed Skoshi Tiger, but basically a version of the basic F-5A Freedom Fighter..... The later F-5E was called Tiger. Edited September 11, 2012 by Derk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MigBuster 2,884 Posted September 12, 2012 Great find that - and pretty rare footage I would say They are mostly F-5s flown by the South Vietnamese AF (VNAF) - the yellow and black checked fuselage stripe is the give away. AFAIK the F-5C was the USAF designation for the Skoshi project which had an AAR pipe off the port side of the canopy - which I assume were removed before transfer to the VNAF in 1967 - but the designation always seems to be F-5A for the VNAF service. They did have F-5Es and F-5Fs as well - but cant tell if there are any on here - anything with wingtip tanks is an F-5A/C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
