Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted September 5, 2006 Wow, thanks for sharing TK. Is this the F-20 tigershark? Thanks a lot for the great shots, TK Double engines, so 'just' a F-5, S V Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted September 5, 2006 Is this the F-20 tigershark? As far as memory serves me, don't recall the Tigershark ever entered service with any air force. In fact, don't think Northrop ever completed the certification exercise. Reports from that era indicate RMAF was one of the target customers. Other I remember was the Saudis. Just out of (hypothetical) interest, would the RMAF still consider these 'light' jets as front liners anymore, now that we have the Hornets and Migs already and Sukhois on the way ?

In fact, don't think Northrop ever completed the certification exercise. Thanks for the clarification BC and Pieter. Indeed the F-20 looks very similar to the F-5s. So the whole F-20 programme was abandoned by Uncle Sam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kwek 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) TK was well equipped - 2 DSLRs, one with wide angle for the aircraft on static display, one with a long zoom, presumably for Ah Mois!! See the grin on his face! "I haven't seen an F-5 for ages....let me give you a kiss!!" We detoured from the display area for some action shots, providing some amusement for the ground crew nearby. Geez I hope the ground was not damaged! These two lucky brokes just got off the C-130, after a joyride over Singapore! - yes that's Raymond Ngu with Yong Kiat. The medics were on patrol via golf carts. But TK's fainting wasn't convincing enough to qualify for a mouth to mouth resucitation.

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted September 5, 2006 Nice pictures, Kwek, is this a yearly event ? when is the next one ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norman 1 Report post Posted September 5, 2006 TK, Kwek.... simple MARVELOUS More please... fly-past especially... Pieter, I understand from Kwek, the last open-day by the RSAF was 3 years ago, so you might be looking like 3-4 years from now and mostlikely the F5e won't be around....

Imran K. 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2006 3-4 years from now..i'll prolly be flying already! Lets hope so..fingers crossed! Hmm...true..the F-5 will most probably be retired...but another new aircraft will join their fleet right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kwek 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2006 Hi Pieter, It's supposed to be a bi-annual event but the last time it skipped a year, so there was a three year gap. Hopefully we see the next one in 2008. Kwek Nice pictures, Kwek, is this a yearly event ? when is the next one ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kwek 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2006 TK loves big planes....as evidenced by these pics. No ambiguity of the operator of the KC-135R. Luv the Chinook! This is the CH-47SD, all glass cockpit with extended range. Hugh mammary glands... One of the stars of the show.....look carefully, three MWers in pic! A teaser of things to come....
