This F5 is a former South Korean Air Force F5 Tiger.  Eons ago, when I was in the National Guard, I had the experience of watching ROKAF F5s in a practice dogfight against USAF fighters, as the Korean jets attempted to break through an escort in order to take on a FB111.  Quite the thing to see.

A Boeing F4B fighter being rebuilt by the Pacific Aviation Museum on Ford Island, Hawaii.  Quite the project, it shows how very much like the old flying models we used to build these really were.
