    ‘last’ Magisters…

    Was the Belgian air component really the last military user of the Magister?? What about Israel, El Salvador, Algeria, Morocco, Togo and Senegal, to name but a few?

    Yes, I do agree… at least for Israel (see “Tzukit aerobatic Team”) with
    Google and airliners.net…:) 🙂

    For the other users, I’d like to know…!!!

    friendly yours,

    Luxemburg ‘Air Force’

    Maybe you don’t know it, but Luxemburg
    had 3 military Piper-Cubs, in the 50-ties,
    with well-visible roundels…!

    I have b/w photos of them…

    friendly yours,

    Northropgrumman website

    They’re not going to list countries which they didn’t sell any to, & which received a few surreptitiously, are they?

    Indeed… it’s a good point of view !!

    F-5 operators & former operators

    many thanks to all, for your interesting replies.

    Meanwhile I’ve found :
    http://www.is.northropgrumman.com/products/intl_products/f5/f5.html

    .. >> in fact THE official website for a.o. the F-5s…. !
    well, there is a mention of only 25 ‘international’ users …!

    comparing with all your other data’s, I conclude so:

    OK for Sudan, Israel, Portugal, South Vietnam,
    and +- for Pakistan & Paraguay,

    but what about for China & USSR ??

    friendly yours,

    E.K.

    The Northrop F-5 & Cessna A-37 in VPAF service

    Yes, they used both… its well documented.

    http://home.att.net/~jbaugher1/f5_40.html

    from the article published in Air International/March 1991 p 135 > 138

    Deliveries of US-supplied aircraft between 23 Oct & 12 Dec 1972, had included
    118 Northrop F-5s and 90 Cessna A-37s, and increasing the strenght of the
    these types to 153 & 249 respectively.
    Among the newly-delivered F-5s were more than 50 of the advanced E-models.

    …. among more than 1.100 SVNAF aicraft abandoned in South Vietnam following the surrender were no less than 87 F-5s (including 27 F-5Es) and
    95 A-37s.
    According to USAF sources, 26 F-5s (including 22 F-5Es) & 27 A-37s were
    among that managed to escape to U-Tapao RTAB, Thailand, between
    April 22 and 30.

    Technically yes, but they wear US markings, if I am not mistaken.

    Yes, you’re right !!
