FSX – F-5 Freedom Fighter. This is a repaint of Tim Conrad‘s F5 Freedom Fighter updated for Flight Simulator X. This aircraft is painted in a desert camo paint. The F-5 started life as a privately funded light fighter program by Northrop in the 1950s. The first generation F-5A Freedom Fighter entered service in the 1960s. Over 800 were produced through 1972 for U.S. allies during the cold war. The USAF had no need for a light fighter, but it did specify a requirement for a supersonic trainer and procured about 1200 of a derivative airframe for this purpose, the T-38 Talon. Many F-5s continuing in service into the 1990s and 2000s have undergone a wide variety of upgrade programs to keep pace with the changing combat environment. The F-5 was also developed into a dedicated reconnaissance version, the RF-5 Tigereye. Textures and upgrades by Mark Rooks of RDG Aircraft.
