Northrop’s privately-funded jet fighter, the F-5A Freedom Fighter, was an export success for the company and for the United States, but Northrop felt that the design had even more potential. The F-5A was optimized for ground attack and had little to no air-to-air capability, but its performance, small size, and easy maintenance and handling characteristics promised that it could be a superb fighter. With this in mind, Northrop proposed to the USAF an advanced version, known as the F-5A-21. While the USAF was not interested in it, it agreed with Northrop that it could serve as a good fighter for the US’ allies, and as a replacement for the F-5A. Development of the aircraft went forward from 1970, redesignated F-5E Tiger II, as it would be practically a new aircraft.
The F-5E externally still bore a strong resemblance to the F-5A, but was much different. It was fitted with more powerful J85 afterburning engines, pushing its top speed over Mach 1, and added a foot in length and width. This in turn required a larger wing, which was accomplished by retaining the wings of the F-5A, but adding a leading-edge wing extension (LERX) for better performance; it also incorporated some improvements made to the original F-5A design by Dutch and Canadian license-built aircraft. The F-5E would still be unstable (which would be cured later by adding a fin fillet and a flatter nose), but an experienced pilot could use this to his advantage, and it was still relatively simple to fly. Unlike the F-5A, the F-5E had a small radar and was meant for air combat, although it was limited to close-range fights with its guns and AIM-9 Sidewinders. Northrop also offered a two-seat conversion trainer, the longer F-5F, which retained all the combat capability of the single-seater, and in a dedicated reconnaissance version, the RF-5E Tigereye, which replaces one cannon with cameras in a flattened nose. The first F-5E flew in August 1972.
The F-5E found instant success as an export fighter, as it retained all of the good aspects of the earlier F-5A but added significant air combat ability. The USAF was initially not interested in the F-5E, buying a small number as trainers for allied air forces, mainly the South Vietnamese Air Force. However, after the success of the US Navy’s Top Gun program, which had used borrowed T-38 Talons and F-5Es, the USAF began buying F-5Es for the Red Flag program to simulate the MiG-21. These aircraft were flown by some of the most expert pilots in the USAF, and pilots who were coming into the service flying the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon soon found to their detriment that the little F-5 was a dangerous adversary; their counterparts in F-14 Tomcats and F/A-18 Hornets learned the same lessons at Top Gun. While the US never used the F-5 in combat, the simulated combat it has undertaken undoubtedly ensured the survival and success of many American and NATO pilots in the wars of the 1990s.
As an export fighter, the F-5E is possibly the most successful Western design since World War II, with its only rival the F-16—which was often purchased to replace it. Fully 27 nations flew F-5Es, and this even included two onetime adversaries, North Vietnam and the Soviet Union; after the fall of South Vietnam, the Vietnamese People’s Air Force absorbed the surviving F-5Es and flew them into the 1980s, sending others to the Soviet Union for evaluation. It has been used extensively in combat as well, by Iran, Ethiopia, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia.
Today, the F-5E remains in service, upgraded far beyond the wildest dreams of Northrop’s engineers in 1970. Modern F-5Es have undergone a bewildering number of upgrade programs, resulting in aircraft with nearly the capabilities of the F-16. While the USAF withdrew its F-5Es in 1990 due to wing cracks, replacing them in the aggressor role with F-16s, the US Navy and Marines still fly ex-Swiss, upgraded F-5Ns at Top Gun. 12 air forces still operate F-5Es as of this writing.
Surprisingly, very little can be found about this F-5E. It was manufactured for the USAF as 72-1387, but at some point was passed on to the US Navy as Bureau Number 721387. There are pictures that show this aircraft with the USAF's 405th Tactical Fighter Training Wing at Williams AFB, Arizona as late as 1987, so the transfer may have happened the 405th TFTW divested itself of its F-5s in 1989. Whatever the case, now as 721387, the aircraft ended up with VFC-13 ("Fighting Saints") at NAS Miramar, California and later NAS Fallon, Nevada as an adversary/aggressor aircraft. It was retired around 2010 and donated to the Pacific Coast Air Museum in Santa Rosa, California.
Today, 721387 is still in its VFC-13 markings, in overall light gray with green stripes, designed to break up the F-5's silhouette over the Nevada desert. I got this picture on a gorgeous June 2025 day at PCAM.

According to Wikipedia, this is a Palladian villa built in the 1750s-60s for Simon Harcourt, 1st Earl Harcourt, a British diplomat and general, with grounds later landscaped by Capability Brown. The old village of Nuneham Courtenay was uprooted to make way for the house and grounds and recreated a mile away on the Oxford to Dorchester road (now the A4074). During World War II, it was used by the RAF, home to a photographic reconnaissance interpretation unit. It is now owned by Oxford University (their Harcourt Arboretum is also nearby) and the building used as a retreat centre.
The park at Petworth House was landscaped by Capability Brown. It holds the largest and oldest herd of fallow deer in England.
Testing macro capability of my "new" lens. It still amazes me how good it is. Compact, sturdy, sharp straight from f/2.8 and for a very reasonable price. Also, do you like the bokeh? I do!
I wish it was a little wider, but you can always stitch a few vertical photos to capture a wide angle landscape! All in all, a very versatile little lens. Stays on my camera almost all the time :-)

Stowe landscape garden is most notably the work of two people: Lord Cobham and his nephew, Earl Temple. At one time this family was once richer than the king. The Temple family spent a fortune creating and extending the garden to further their political ambitions. Stowe was 'Capability' Brown's first major commission. Stowe reached its social peak in 1822 when Richard Temple was created 1st Duke of Buckingham, but by this time his and his ancestors extravagence had taken the family to the brink of financial ruin with debts of more than £1 million. The 2nd Duke fled and the scandel rocked the English aristocracy.
Stowe was rescued in 1922, when it was turned into a school.

Capability Brown biography
by David Ross, Chief Anglophile and Britain Express Editor
Lancelot "Capability" Brown was born in Kirkharle, Northumberland in 1715 (more about his nickname "Capability" in a moment). Young Lancelot was educated at Cambo School, before serving as a gardener's boy in the service of Sir William Loraine. From there he moved on to Wotton, owned by Sir Richard Grenville.
From Wotton he joined the gardening staff of Lord Cobham, at Stowe, Buckinghamshire. There he served under William Kent, one of the founders of the new English style of Landscape Gardening. The men became close, and Brown married Kent's daughter.
At Stowe, Brown was responsible for actually implementing Kent's designs, but it seems clear that Lord Cobham also allowed Brown to take on work for his aristocratic friends while he was still employed at Stowe.
Lord Cobham died in 1749, and Brown left Stowe to set up his own gardening practice based in London two years later. To say that Brown was successful in his profession is an understatement of the highest order.
He became immensely sought after by the aristocracy, and it is estimated that he was responsible for some 170 gardens surrounding the finest country houses and estates in Britain. So numerous are his designs, and so widespread was his influence, that it is almost harder to find a prominent country house that did not have a garden designed by Capability Brown.
Lancelot Brown soon acquired the peculiar nickname "Capability" from his habit of telling clients that their gardens had "great capabilities". In his talented hands, they certainly did.
Brown has been criticized, with some justification, for destroying the works of previous generations of gardeners to create his landscapes. He worked with a grand vision, and preferred to sweep away the past and create a fresh garden to his own standards.
What were those standards? The English landscape garden under Capability Brown was a place of wide green undulating lawns with sinuous bands and clumps of trees, planted with the utmost care to give the impression of a romantic natural scene.
The trees opened up to give carefully planned glimpses of interest points, often classical temples, bridges, or monuments. Everything was meticulously contrived to give a sense of informality, of natural beauty, though of course nothing in the garden was "natural" at all.
In later life Brown was appointed head gardener at Hampton Court Palace in 1761, though he continued his private practice.
Capability Brown died Feb. 6, 1783, in London, leaving behind himself a legacy unparalleled in the history of English gardening.

Broadway Tower near to the village of Broadway in Worcestershire, UK was the idea of Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, the renowned 18th century English landscape architect.
Capability Brown designed the house and landscaped parkland at Croome Court at Croome D'Abitot, Worcestershire for George Coventry, 6th Earl of Coventry.
The house and parkland were Brown's first landscape design and his first major architectural piece of work.
Lady Coventry wondered if Croome could be seen from a beacon hill some 20 miles away and so Brown suggested building a 'Saxon' folly in the form of a castle which was designed by James Wyatt who had designed follies and temples for the park at Croome with Robert Adam. When lit, the beacon could be clearly seen at Croome Court.
The tower has been a country retreat for artists including William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones who stayed there in the 1880s.

Compton Verney's Chapel was built in 1772 by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown to replace the medieval church that stood by the lake nearby. It has not been used for services since the Verney family left in 1921.
Inside the rectangular room has plaster decoration influenced by Robert Adam's work. The main items of interest are the Verney monuments including a large centrally placed tomb with effigies of Sir Richard & wife by Nicholas Stone c1630. However given the long term disuse of the building most of the monuments have been boxed in for protection. They will remain hidden until funding is found to restore and re-open the chapel as part of the visitor attraction here,
The 16th century glass once contained here was sold in the 1920s and is now in New York. Nobody seems to know what's become of the brasses. They may still be there under all the clutter that the building's mothballed state has generated.
Compton Verney House stands in a beautiful setting overlooking a lake. The grounds were landscaped by Capability Brown who also built the chapel.
The House itself is largely the work of Robert Adam, who in the 1760s who added extra ranges to an existing west range of 1714,
From the early 20th century the house passed through various owners, and after requisitioning in World War II was never lived in again, and thus remained in a state of disuse, slowly falling apart, until rescued and converted into a highly successful art gallery in the 1990s.

With excellent electrical properties, heat dissipation capability, electromagnetic shielding, high dielectric strength and resistance to bending, aluminum substrates are widely used in many industries such as high-power LED lighting, power supplies, TV backlighting, automotive, computer, air conditioning inverter modules, avionics, telecommunications, medical and audio. When it comes to cell phone cameras which are the most commonly used in our daily life, aluminum PCBs are of great importance. As a metal core PCB (MCPCB), aluminum PCB has many similarities with FR4 PCB in terms of manufacturing process or technology, including thick copper foil etching, aluminum surface etching protection, aluminum board manufacturing and solder resist film printing.
Since the 1970s, aluminum PCBs were first used in power amplification hybrid ICs and have become popular. Due to the development of LED industry in recent years, the application and trend of them are increasingly widespread. Therefore, in order to better utilize them in the product and industry, it is necessary to understand some important characteristics of the PCBs.
Structure of Aluminum PCB
In terms of the structure, it truly shows the structure of aluminum CCL consisting of copper foil, dielectric layer, aluminum base and aluminum base film (which is optional).
(1) Copper foil layer
The aluminum CCL has the same copper foil layer as the ordinary one. The circuit layer requires large current carrying capacity, which is the reason for changing thicker copper circuits from 1 ounce to 10 ounces. The back of the copper foil must be chemically oxidized while the surface should be zinc-plated and brass-plated to improve the peel strength.
(2) Dielectric layer
The dielectric layer consists of a layer of thermally conductive dielectric material with low thermal resistance and a thickness of from 50μm to 200μm, which is the core technology of aluminum CCL. It excels in resistance of heat and aging and can withstand mechanical and thermal stress.
(3) Aluminum base
The aluminum base is actually the aluminum substrate material and is the support component. It requires a high thermal conductivity to be suitable for general mechanical engineering, such as drilling, punching and cutting.
(4) Aluminum base film
The aluminum base film serves to protect the the surface from scratches and etchants. The films can be classified as normal one (below 120°C) and high-temperature-resistant one (250°C). The latter type can meet the requirements of HASL as a surface finishment.
Aluminum PCB performance
(1) Heat dissipation
Compared to normal FR4 PCBs, the aluminum PCBs perform better and more quickly in heat dissipation. Take the FR4 PCB and the aluminum PCB with the same thickness of 1.5mm as an example. FR4 PCBs have a thermal resistance of from 20°C/W to 22°C/W while aluminum PCBs have it of from 1°C/W to 2°C/W, which proves the feature again.
(2) Thermal expansion
The thermal expansion and contraction are common properties of substances but have different coefficients. Because of the excellence in heat dissipation of the aluminum PCBs, the problems on the thermal expansion and contraction on the board surface will be significantly reduced to increase the durability and reliability of the entire equipment and electronic devices. This kind of advantages can be particularly suitable for the thermal expansion and shrinkage problems of surface mount technology (SMT).
(3) Dimensional stability
The aluminum PCBs have significantly stable dimensions. Their dimensions will only change about 2.5% to 3.0% when they are heated from 30 ℃ to 140 ℃ or even 150 ℃.
(4) Other performance
a. Applicability to power device SMT.
b. Effective thermal expansion of circuit design.
c. Helpful to reduce operating temperature, improve product power density and reliability, and extend the shelf life of products.
d. Helpful to reduce the size of the product, hardware and assembly costs.
e. Easy replacement of fragile ceramic substrates with better insulation performance and mechanical durability.

Day trip to Wrest Park in the village of Silsoe near Luton.
Wrest Park is a 19th century pseudo-French mansion built in 1834-39, to designs by its owner the Thomas de Grey, 2nd Earl de Grey, an amateur architect, the first president of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
Wrest Park has an early eighteenth-century garden which was probably originally laid out for Henry Grey, 1st Duke of Kent and then modified by Lancelot "Capability" Brown in a more informal landscape style.
It is now in the care of English Heritage.
