Nice scheme. Looks like two different F-5E's one with the green/white spinners and one with all red.

Aren't these F-5s?

Cool guest appearance by the Ford amphibious jeep, too!

Why does the guy run up to the plane and kick the front tire before take off?

The nose wheel is a caster, so I am guessing the kicking is to get it to properly do so.

Yeah, the seep is pretty cool!

It looks as if there may also be an early P 47 in the background as the F5 starts to taxi.
