C-5 Freedom Fighter (Full)

The CF-5 (officially designated the CF-116 Freedom Fighter) was the Canadair licensed-built version of the American Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter aircraft primarily for the Canadian Forces. The CF-5 was upgraded periodically throughout its service career in Canada. The Canadian Forces retired the type in 1995, although CF-5s continued to be used by other countries into the early 21st century.

 

This CF-5 Freedom Fighter, found in front of the Military Museums in Calgary, is dedicated to the airmen and airwomen who flew and maintained fighter aircraft in Canada's air force in the twentieth century.
