F-5A for sale

Wed May 16, 2007 2:18 pm

For the half-dozen jet fans, check out the link below. Owner is Roger Hardesty of Tulsa OK. He's upgraded to a two-seat Belgian F-5B complete with a Sanders "smokewinder" system on the wingtip missile rails so why own two F-5s right? Also owns immaculate P-51, Stearman, T-6, couple of G-Vs, Citation 10, Falcon...Kewl!!

I would hate to see the ASK on that baby!

BTW .... rumour has it that Tiger Century Aviation bought 3 F-5Bs from Brazil and is negotiating for all the CF-5s in Canada!!!!!!

I double-checked with the gentleman that gave the owner his checkout in the F-5 and he says it may have come from the Netherlands but isn't certain.

The Netherlands indeed flew the F-5, but The Netherlands and Belgium are two different countries :wink:

I think it is more accurate to say The Netherlands and Wallonia are two different countries :wink: :wink:

Thanks for the geography lesson but the original point was my friend was unsure which air force flew Mr. Hardesty's F-5B.
