us navy buys 44 F5 from SUISSE

Post by ricardo smit »

on the US NAVY.mil website the story of the swiss airforce is selling 44 F5 tiger aircraft to the US navy.

each F5 Tiger will be airlifted from emmen airbase to san augustine in FLA bij C130T.

The US NAvy will be using the F5tigers in the agressor role.

Nice to see a lot of US NAVY/MARINE corps herkies at emmen in the near future

I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but this deal has practicly been concluded already. In the last 4-5 years some 40+ have been picked up already. :wink:
