This is apparently in fact F-5A 65-10523, originally delivered the Republic of China and then to South Vietnam in 1972, painted to represent F-5E 73-01638 which was used by the SVNAF's Lieutenant Trung to attack the Independence Palace in Saigon on 8th April 1975. Trung was secretly acting on behalf of the North Vietnamese and handed the aircraft over to their forces after the attack. The Independence Palace was the home and workplace of the president of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War and the site of the official handover of power during the Fall of Saigon on 30th April 1975

Arrived at MASDC in March 1976 after retirement from South Vietnamese AF service, the 'GE' tailcode of Tan Son Nhut based 427 Transport Squadron still visible on the tail. Registered as N92NC in 1990 but NTU and taken from storage to the Western International scrapyard in June 1988 where it languished for several years before being moved again to the Pima Museum storage yard in October 2020, reportedly for use as spares. Another C-7B 62-4193 c/n 138 is displayed inside the museum as '62-4150'.

Painted in the SVNAF colours it wore in the mid-1970s, this Bird Dog was taken on strength as an O-1A by the US Army as 51-4981 in 1951. In 1966 Cessna converted it to O-1G at Wichita and it was deployed to Vietnam. On 29 April 1975 a SVNAF major crammed his wife and five children aboard to escape advancing North Vietnamese forces. Flying out to sea in the hope of finding a rescue ship, he ran low on fuel but spotted USS Midway, its deck full with helicopters. He dropped a pleading note written on a chart and a number of Hueys and Chinooks were pushed over the side so he could land!
