Canadair CF-5 - fotod ja videod

2007 Canadair CF-5 (ametlikult nimetatud CF-116 Vabadusvõitlejaks) on Canadairi litsentsitud versioon Ameerika Northrop F-5 Vabadusvõitleja lennukitest peamiselt Kanada vägedele (nagu CF-5) ja Hollandi kuninglikele õhujõududele (nagu NF-5). CF-5 uuendati perioodiliselt kogu oma teenistuskarjääri jooksul Kanadas. Kanada väed loobusid tüübist 1995. aastal, kuigi CF-5-sid kasutavad jätkuvalt teised riigid.

2007 Canadair CF-5 was a fighter-bomber aircraft developed by Canadair under license from Northrop. It was based on the F-5 Freedom Fighter, but had several modifications to suit the needs of the Canadian Forces and the Royal Netherlands Air Force, who were the main operators of the CF-5. The CF-5 had a two-position nose landing gear that improved takeoff performance, a midair refueling probe, more powerful engines, and a more advanced navigation system. The CF-5 also had a removable nose that could be replaced with a reconnaissance module with four cameras. The CF-5 first flew in 1968 and entered service later that year. It was used for various roles, such as light attack, strike, reconnaissance, and training. The CF-5 was retired from Canadian service in 1995, but some countries still use it today.
