Hmm mukhang nakalimutan na ang topic na to pero anyway, some questions lng.

1. How good was the F 5A as an attack plane? Did we ever use it here in this role?

2. May rough field take off/landing capabilities sya I think sa Landing meron.

3. Nasan na pala mga AIM 9B nya? at ilan kaya nya buhatin sa mga hard points nya?

4. Since wala ako mahanap sa site ng northrop grumman about repair contract ng F 5 natin, paano natin sya rine repair? Do we improvise some parts?

5. Pag 3 drop tanks nya ilang kilometro range nya? o yung 2590 kms is kasama na yung 3 drop tanks?

6. yung huling F 5 na nakalipad kaya pa ba nya i break sound barrier o hinay hinay na lng sya ililipad at baka mag disintegrate na?

Last, sino mag o open ng F 8 at tora tora tribute page? kahit na huling huli to siguro naman may story mga veterans na nakagamit nyan?
you will never make me sing "internationale"

Hindi naman as tribute but as additional info that could've lengthened the service of our F-5As.

In 1998, there's an old report that the US decided to improve their T-38 Talons - the trainer jet which the F-5 came from - to serve to 2040. Improvements were a large field of view HUD in the front cockpit, MFP, electronic engine displays and up-front control panels in the aircraft's dual cockpits, integrated GPS, inertial navigation system and traffic avoidance system.
Command is about authority, about appointment to a position. Effective leadership is different. It must be learned and practiced in order for it to rise to the level of art. You must love those you lead before you can be an effective leader. You can certainly command without that sense of commitment but you cannot lead without it; and without leadership, command is a hollow experience. .. a vacuum often filled with mistrust and ignorance.

To F-5 fans:

Major Yadollah Javadpour is one of the most accomplished F-5 pilots in the world, and flew in the Acrojet team founded by General Jahanbani. The F-5 is a light, low cost fighter, and Major Javadpour shot down 5 Iraqi fighters, making him one of the prominent jet fighter aces in history. One of his victims was the Mig-25, the world’s fastest fighter, and at the time the Russians’ most advanced fighter, flown by Colonel Rayyan, Iraq’s top fighter pilot. The downing of a fighter like the Mig-25 by an F-5 is unprecedented in the history of air combat, and Major Javadpour has become a legend in the worldwide F-5 pilot community.

This only shows that a well-trained and determined pilot can achieve much. Try ko makahanap ng more details about the Iranian F-5s.

T-38 TALON TWIN-JET HIGH-ALTITUDE SUPERSONIC TRAINER, USA

Northrop Grumman has built 1,187 T-38 twin-jet trainer aircraft and more than 60,000 USAF pilots have trained in the T-38 since it entered service in 1961, when it was the world's first supersonic trainer. Over 500 remain in service with the US Air Force and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and it is also in service with the armed forces of Germany (40 aircraft), South Korea (30), Taiwan (40) and Turkey (69).

USAF T-38 trainers are primarily used by Air Education and Training Command for joint specialized undergraduate pilot training (JSUPT), but the aircraft are also used by Air Combat Command for its Companion Training Program and by Air Force Materiel Command to test experimental equipment. NASA uses T-38 aircraft as trainers for astronauts and as observers and chase planes on programs such as the space shuttle. Pilots from NATO countries are also trained on the T-38 at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, through the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program.

The T-38A is a basic supersonic trainer aircraft and the AT-38B is the lead in fighter trainer fitted with a centerline weapons station for practice bomb dispenser. A program to upgrade the T-38A and extend the service life of the aircraft till 2020 is underway. The program includes new avionics and propulsion and new structural elements including the wings. The upgraded aircraft is designated T-38C. All USAF T-38A are to be upgraded to T-38C by 2009.

DESIGN
The aircraft is a low wing monoplane with a fuselage of semi-monocoque design constructed mainly of aluminum with steel and titanium. The cantilever all-metal tail has a hydraulically powered rudder and single piece all moving tailplane. The aluminum alloy multispar wings are fitted with heavy metal plate machined skins.

PACER CLASSIC
Under the US Air Force's Pacer Classic program, initiated in 1984, the structural integrity work on the T-38 includes replacement of the ejection seats, longerons, landing gear and brakes, flight controls and an impact resistant canopy.

The Air Force initiated a T-38 Wing Life Improvement Program in 1997 and in 2001 Northrop Grumman was awarded a $3.2 million contract to develop a newly designed wing incorporating fatigue resistant aluminum alloys.

COCKPIT
The tandem cockpits are air conditioned and pressurized. The cockpits have separate manually operated canopies, both jettisonable and rearward hinged. The cockpits, separated by a windshield, are equipped with rocket-powered ejection seats. The instructor's seat in the rear cockpit is raised by 25cm to give a clear forward view.

The instructor and student pilot have a Magnavox (now Raytheon) AN/ARC-34X radio communications set operating at UHF and an Andrea AN/AIC-18 internal communications system.

The navigation suite includes a Hoffman AN/ARN-65 Tacan tactical air navigation system and a Bendix compass unit. The aircraft is fitted with a Hazeltine AN/AP-64 IFF information friend or foe transponder and a Rockwell Collins AN/ARN-58 ILS instrument landing system.

AVIONICS UPGRADE
Boeing was awarded a $45.6 million contract in 1996 and a $9.4 million contract in 2002 to design, develop and implement the T-38 avionics upgrade for the United States Air Force under the USAF Propulsion Modernization Program. Israel Aircraft Industries was selected as a major subcontractor. The first T-38C aircraft upgraded under the Avionics Upgrade Program (AUP) was delivered in July 2002 and over 200 aircraft of the 500 contracted have been delivered.

The aircraft are being fitted with an avionics suite by Honeywell Military Avionics and are also being equipped with head down displays, electronic displays and control panels and instruments and head down displays in both cockpits and a head up display in the forward cockpit. The navigation system has been upgraded with the installation of an H-764G integrated global positioning system and inertial navigation system (GPS/INS), L-3 Avionics Systems RT-1634(V) TACAN (Tactical Airborne Navigation Systems), radar altimeter, yaw damping stability augmentation, an air data computer and a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS).

ENGINES
The aircraft is equipped with two General Electric J85-GE-5 turbojet engines, each rated at 2,680lb without afterburn and 3,850lb with afterburn. There are three fuselage bladder tanks and a dorsal bladder tank with total capacity of 2,206 liters of usable fuel. A single refueling point is located on the lower fuselage. Each engine is fed by a separate and independent fuel system, with the center and aft fuselage tanks for the port engine and the forward fuselage tank and dorsal tank for the starboard engine.

ENGINE UPGRADE
The USAF has undertaken a Propulsion Modernization Program which supports the T-38 Talon advanced trainer to year 2040. The major elements of the modernization are an engine modification program and an avionics upgrade program.

The United States Air Force awarded a $601 million contract to General Electric Aircraft Engines to modify the J85-5 turbojet engines on the fleet of 509 aircraft. The engine upgrades are scheduled to be completed over a ten-year period from 2001 to 2011. The contract includes the delivery of 1,202 J85-5 modification kits and 509 engine ejector nozzles. The first aircraft with the engine upgrade was delivered in November 2002

Another MiG-25PD(export) is known to have been shot down by F-14s and F-5s, in 1983, while another - flown by the Iraqi top "ace" of the Iraq-Iran War, Lt.Col. Mohammad "Sky Falcon" Rayyan - was shot down by gunfire from an IRIAF F-5E while underway at Mach 1 and 29.000ft, in July 1986.
