I, too, was saying "farewell" to this military metalbird. I've photographed it several times during my frequent visits to KNFL and I'll miss seeing F-5s when I go there in the future. However, snapping the newly assigned Vipers there will make it easy for me to "move on" (lol).

I always enjoy seeing what flight and ground crews do to sendoff a plane they loved. Awesome capture and commentary, Gary!

Gorgeous RF-5 Gary.......

Nobody highlights their pics with aviation updates and history like you do.

I enjoyed Oshkosh last week and will be putting some pics on Flightaware. Saw the Blue Angels in Milwaukee the week before but weather was hazy.


Take care Gary,

Ken
