Auto Credit Based on WHNineTripleOne's [RD Cockpits] F-5E Tiger II

In the late 1950s Northrop started the F-5 project. The F-5E (and F-5F which is the 2 seater version) Tiger II is the most recent in the family. The Tiger II was used in the U.S. Air Force (light interceptor/attack jet and in the U.S. (aggressor trainer used at Fighter Weapons School, TOP GUN). I find that the F-5 family is very large and interesting. The payload is Sidewinder ×4 and Drop Tanks ×2. Throttle needs to be higher than 95% for afterburner. The controls are the same as the previous version. Enjoy flying in this fast and lightweight interceptor.
