Photo Comment

The N in the NF-5A's designation stands for the Netherlands. The Dutch originally ordered and operated this variant, which introduced automatic leading edge manoeuvering flaps. The serials of the Turkish Stars NF-5s might have to be taken with a grain of salt since they're only painted on the interchangeable tip tanks.
