This F-5E was transferred from the USAF (ex serial 73-0858) to the US Navy in April 1975. It received BuNo 160792. In its adversary role with VFA-127 Cyclones, this specific Tiger II was selected to act as a MiG-28 in the 1986 movie Top Gun. After VFA-127 was disestablished on 23 March 1996, the F-5E was moved to VFC-13. After its military career, the aircraft is preserved at Ryan-Hemet (CA) since late 2010, sadly, not in this nice black MiG-28 colour scheme.
