F-5 bombing pictures
I bought a large photo group and these were mixed in with the WWII shots. Some are quite good.

You can see that most of your photos, which by the way are phenominal, show the F-5's are airplanes of the USAF. The last one(s) were of the South Vietnamese Air Force. Any, plane or any helo that has that type of yellow and black checkering band across the section in front of the rudder and stabulator are owned or on loan to the South Vietnamese Air Force. This only pertains to airplanes that fought during the Vietnamese War. If you look closer at some South Vietnamese aircraft, you will see plenty of T-28's used by them. You will see them for example on F-5's, T-28's, A1E Skraiders, A-37's and some observation/FAC airplanes, and some Cargo airplanes such as the C-123 and the AC/A-47's, and some C-7's. They were also found on the various helicopters that were given to them.
I use to buy all of the Sqadron Signal Publications that I could afford when I was young that dealt with everything to do about the Vietnam war. These pubs are where I recieved some of the information above and some others laying around here. Anybody else here who have some SSPubs?
Would love to see more pictures of the airplanes and helicopters that were used in the Vietnam War from both sides.
