The F‑5N Tiger II BuNo 761575, flown by VFC‑111 “Sundowners” out of NAS Key West in 2013, stood apart in the world of adversary jets due to its specialized role and vibrant Pacific-inspired livery. Unlike standard trainers, this airframe was modified with upgraded NGA reconnaissance avionics and smoke-generators to simulate modern threats during dissimilar air combat training.
