The F-5 was created in the 1950s as a supersonic light fighter, holding 2 missiles and other loadout options such as a 30mm cannon. In the 1970s It was upgraded to the much more capable E variant, holding newer missiles and newer avionics.
To preform a carrier landing make sure you drop the fuel tank before.
It should be noted that in real life It could not perform this task, the wire was for land wire systems.
I hope you enjoy my newest project!
See you next time.

@Bryan5
@Ac3Zodiac thank you
@Shugie This a really good aircraft, upvote!
The F-8 had more guns on it (a primary purpose compared to the F-5E where most aircraft at this time had guns as secondary)
Yeah but is more like saying the f-16 is the last gunfighter because it came later @Shugie
@ReturnOfJeffChandler I didnt say it was the last gunfighter, I'm well aware the F-8 has the nickname of the last gunfighter, I said the F-5 was one of the last gunfighters
@ReturnOfJeffChandler Yes but it is also a gunfighter
The F-5 is primarily known for how cheap and cost effective it was. Been use by 38 countries.
@ReturnOfJeffChandler The F-8 first flew in 1955, The F-5 first flew in 1959, with the F-5E in 1972
Ever heard of the F-8 crusader. Primary armament was guns. @Shugie
@ReturnOfJeffChandler It was one of the last fighters that relied on guns as well as missiles, nowadays fighters have BVR missiles, dogfights no longer happen like they used to, the F-5 would use its gun in close range dogfights but these almost never happen now
Last true gunfighter?
Will blowup!
@ollielebananiaCFSP I did use a blueprint
You should have used a blueprint for this one, it doesn't look like it but the f-5 as actually a tricky shape
