This is F-5F 160966 of VFA-127 "Cyclons" was pictured at the ramp homebase NAS Fallon (NV) The adversary squadron was disestablished on 23 March 1996 and most F-5s were transferred to VFC-13. BuNo 160966 is former US Air Force serial 75-0755. By 2005, the forward fuselage of this 160966 was probably used to create Franken F-5F BuNo 761580 (which is in its turn former Swiss AF J-3055). The rear part and wings of 160966 were most probably scrapped. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
