While we're discussing F-5s... I just read that Tactical Air Support (TacAir) of Reno, Nevada, bought the entire inventory of F-5 jets and spare parts from the Royal Jordanian Air Force, and has received approval from the State Department to import the jets and parts into the U.S. The F-5s will be used to provide aggressor services for training U.S. pilots. TacAir already operates ex-Canadian F-5s in this role.

Sorry, no other info was given in the article.

I popped in to their web site, and they have a photo of N8910. No other info there, either.

Looks like the FAA has 18 CF-5 Freedom Fighters registered. Seems I have some research to do on my next day off :)

Is it the law in Taiwan that aircraft displays must be within walking distance of each other?
There sure are a lot of them.

On that note, I have an extreme lack of images of Taiwanese display aircraft, not just F-5s but any, so if you have some send them in!
If you live in Taiwan I'm sure you live next to one, take a pic, even a camera phone would be good!
