Reference
---------

The F-5 is a supersonic fighter combining low cost, ease of maintenance, and great versatility. More than 2,000 F-5 aircraft have been procured by the USAF for use by allied nations. The F-5, which resembles the USAF Northrop T-38 trainer, is suitable for various types of ground-support and aerial intercept missions, including those which would have to be conducted from sod fields in combat areas.

The F-5 first flew on July 30, 1959 and deliveries to the Tactical Air Command for instructing foreign pilots began in April 1964. Pilots from Iran and South Korea were the first to be trained in the F-5, followed by pilots from Norway, Greece, Taiwan, Spain, and other Free World nations which have adopted the F-5. In 1966-67, a USAF sqaudron of F-5C's flew combat missions in Vietnam for operational evaluation purposes.

The DSB Design F-5 Tiger II is an add-on expansion pack featuring updated exterior models and textures relating to the F-5E Tiger II and it's variants. The new aircraft models include the F-5E Tiger II single seat fighter and F-5F Twin Seat fighter aircraft complete with assorted weaponary (static in FS2002 and 2004). The other models include renditions of the F-5S and T variants used by the Republic of Singapore Air Force in the colours of 149 Sqn, the winner of the Best Fighter Squadron award in 2004.

New textures in this expansion pack include 7 colourful agressor schemes used by the United States Navy and Air Force from the Cold War period until today as well as a replication of the Top Gun Movie's "Mig-28" scheme which will be a winner with the fans of the classic 1980's film.

10 new visual models covering the F-5E/F/S & T variants.
Numerous fixed bombs and stores available on the airframes.
