Finally caught the local F-5B flying.

Nice .

By the way, it's not an F-5B but an NF-5B (aka CL-226-1A11), licence-built and developed by Canadair for the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Particularly the wing differs from the original F-5B, it is stronger wing for more pay-load with leading edge flaps for extra maneuverability. This one was K-4003, delivered to the KLu on March 18th, 1970. It departed for the US in November 1991.

He even sprung for the smokewinders!


The one with the most toys wins!

God bless rich dudes and their awesome toys.  I hope there's a tax break for keeping that beauty flying.

Fantastic golden-hour shot Ralph!

Nice consecutive tail number...

I was very pleased to see it in the air. The owner has lots of toys to choose from.

Mickey, thanks for the correction. Looks like the FAA has it listed incorrectly.

So cool. What airport is this out of. Smokewinders seem to hint at a possible flying display? Maybe just for fun. Wish I could go for a ride in that sexy machine!!!!
