The successful F-5/T-38 family had its start in the N-156, a low-cost, low-maintenance jet fighter developed as a private venture by Northrop in the early 1950s. During World War II, the US Navy had built many escort carriers, but these could not operate the jet fighters entering Navy service. The N-156 was to fulfill this role, by mating a powerful engine—the J85, originally developed for the ADM-20 Quail unmanned decoy aircraft—with a light airframe, providing a high thrust-to-weight ratio. In the end, the US Navy decided to scrap its escort carrier fleet, but the N-156 still impressed enough for Northrop to be awarded a contract for three prototypes, the first of which flew in July 1959. The USAF liked the N-156 enough to order it into production as a two-seat supersonic trainer, the T-38A Talon, but there was still no market for the single-seat fighter version.
That changed in 1962, when the Kennedy administration, seeking a fighter for second and third-world allies of the United States, ordered the N-156 into production as the F-5A Freedom Fighter. The F-5 was considered better than the F-100 Super Sabre in the attack role, while its superb performance, low maintenance, and low cost were appealing to less advanced air forces. Sales for the F-5A were disappointing at first, but after the type was proven under Operation Skoshi Tiger in South Vietnam, they began to pick up. The Freedom Fighter’s lack of range and radar limited to day fighter and attack roles, and so Northrop developed the even more successful F-5E Tiger II.
In the mid-1960s, with the cancellation of the CF-105 Arrow program and the age of the CF-100 Canuck, Canada was in the market for new fighters. The CF-101 Voodoo had fufilled the interceptor role, but the CF-104 Starfighter had a high accident rate and was not really designed for the strike role it was being used for. The Canadian Air Force wanted the F-4E Phantom II, but the Trudeau administration refused on grounds of cost; instead, the F-5A was bought instead since it was cheaper—despite the fact that the F-5 was not really wanted by the CAF, as they could not figure out what to do with it. Canadair was tasked to license-build the Freedom Fighter in Canada as the CF-5A, another decision that was not popular, as Canadair regarded the CF-5 as a step backward from the highly advanced CF-105 project. Nonetheless, Canadair would go on to build 240 CF-5s. In CAF service, the aircraft was known as the CF-116, but this designation was rarely used.
Since the CF-5 would be operating in harsh Canadian winters, Canadair made some changes to the baseline F-5A. This included a two-stage nose gear, which could be extended to allow shorter takeoffs, more powerful Orenda-built J85s, cooling vents for the engines in the rear fuselage, a better navigation system, and inflight refuelling. While the CF-5 had better performance, the CAF was still unsure exactly what to do with the aircraft—its range was too short and it lacked radar, making it a poor choice to operate in the fighter role over Canada; it was deployed to Europe as a light strike fighter,. It did, however, prove to be a superb lead-in fighter trainer for prospective fighter pilots, and as an aggressor aircraft simulating the MiG-21 during Maple Flag exercises at Cold Lake, Alberta.
The Netherlands unexpectedly found itself a customer for the F-5 as well. It needed a replacement for the F-84F Thunderstreak, but, like Canada, the Royal Netherlands Air Force lacked funding or runway space for a large fighter. The modifications made by Canadair and the low cost of the F-5 in general were tailor-made for the Dutch government to order the aircraft as the NF-5A. The NF-5A differed from the Canadian version by having leading-edge slats, giving the NF-5 the best turn rate of any F-5A variant; NF-5s could snap-turn with a F-16 Fighting Falcon. Once the RNAF began receiving F-16s, beginning in the 1980s, the NF-5 was also relegated to the role of lead-in fighter trainer, though it was continually updated with defensive avionics and AIM-9 Sidewinder wingtip launch rails to allow it to operate as a day fighter and give it a better chance in wartime. Venezuela also ordered a small number of CF-5s as VF-5s, identical to the Canadian version.
A total of 240 CF/NF-5s were produced by Canadair. Canada and the Netherlands retired their F-5s in the mid-1990s, but the majority of these aircraft were passed on to the Greek, Turkish, and Botswanan air forces, where (with the exception of Greece), they remain in service. Venezuela’s VF-5s also remain in service.
This CF-5A is more than likely CAF 116772, delivered in 1970 to the Canadian Air Force; as the CAF lacked the funding to equip more than two squadrons with CF-5s, 116772 went into storage for a few years until it was assigned to 434 Squadron at CFB Cold Lake, Alberta. In 1978, it was transferred to 433 Squadron at CFB Bagotville, Quebec, and would remain there for the rest of 116772's career. Retired in 1990, it was used as a spares aircraft for other museum CF-5s, but by 1995, 116772 went to the Memorial Military Museum in Campbelltown, Ontario. It was displayed in a dilapidated state, and after that museum closed, a private owner in Tucson, Arizona acquired 116772 around 2014. It was dismantled and shipped to Tucson, where it was stored behind a hangar. 116772 would remain there for the next decade, almost forgotten, but in 2024 the Pima Air and Space Museum purchased the aircraft for eventual display.
I had read on Facebook that 116772 had been acquired by Pima, and was pleasantly surprised to see it in the museum's restoration yard. It is still in pretty sad shape, sitting essentially in a cart, but worse-looking aircraft have been restored to pristine condition by Pima, so 116772's future looks a lot brighter than it did a few years ago.

Initially, Brazilian House design was entrusted to the great Brazilian architect Lucio Costa. The latter appealed to his friend Le Corbusier, already author of the Swiss Foundation, to help developing the project. But the initial sketch changed so profoundly that Lucio Costa abandoned his authorship on the house!

The goal for Greenville Plays:Greenville Reads is to provide opportunities for children to play safely, exercise, make healthy eating choices and develop a love for reading.
Self developed. I got careless with my film drying and had some nasty water spots on this one. Scanned as color and left unretouched for that "vintage distressed" look. (Or that "guy who doesn't know what he's doing" look, take your pick.)
Expired Kodak TMax 400, shot at about ISO 500, developed in Diafine. From my second roll of home processed film.
3 cyclists. 31.5 miles. 3400 feet of climbing. Eric Tippett developed a new dirty road route and we headed out to explore it. Even though this is just east of low lying Buckeye Lake the hill climbing picks up steam as the route progresses. Short and punchy climbs are loaded on the back half of the route. Guesstimate of 30% gravel combined with low traffic country roads. Lots of friendly waves from motorists today. Gravel was a mixed bag with mushiness in the shade. Some animal sightings along the way.
About halfway through we had a runner with an invisible fence collar. Super friendly doggo. At first we were concerned that he was getting further from his house and we couldn’t find a tag, but when he veered off after four miles to a house we decided it was he who escorted us home (or to his love interest). Route will be published in near future.

The Scaled Composites Model 348 WhiteKnightTwo (WK2) is a jet-powered carrier aircraft which will be used to launch the SpaceShipTwo spacecraft. It is being developed by Scaled Composites as the first stage of Tier 1b, a two-stage to suborbital-space manned launch system. WK2 is based on the successful mothership to SpaceShipOne, White Knight, which itself is based on Proteus.
Virgin Galactic has ordered two WK2s.[2] Together WK2 and SS2 form the basis for Virgin Galactic's fleet of suborbital spaceplanes.
The first WK2 is named VMS Eve after Richard Branson's mother; it was officially unveiled on July 28, 2008, and flew for the first time on December 21, 2008. The second is expected to be named VMS Spirit of Steve Fossett after Branson's close friend Steve Fossett.[3][4]
WhiteKnightTwo is roughly three times larger than White Knight, in order to perform a captive carry with the larger SpaceShipTwo spacecraft. The WK2 is similar in wingspan to a B-29 Superfortress.[5] Despite that comparison, White Knight Two is a thoroughly modern aircraft - even the flight control cables are constructed of carbon fibre, using a new patented design.[6]
WK2 will provide preview flights offering several seconds of weightlessness, before the actual suborbital event. It is intended to have a service ceiling of about 60,000 ft (18 km), offering a dark blue sky to passengers. This will allow tourists to practice before the real flight.[7]
WhiteKnightTwo consists of a twin boom with two jet engines per hull.[8] One hull is an exact replica of that of SpaceShipTwo (to allow tourist training), and the other will carry cut-rate day-trippers into the stratosphere.[9]
The design is quite different from the White Knight, both in size, use of tail, engine configuration and placement of cockpit(s). The White Knight uses two T-tails, but the WhiteKnightTwo uses two cruciform tails. Engine configuration is also very different, with engines hung underneath the wings on the WhiteKnightTwo as opposed to engines on either side of the sole cockpit on the White Knight.

Kodak Ultramax 400 Color Film (Developed in Black & White Chems)
Small dogs and a small SLR are good. Something I never really paid attention to on the the OM system is that a lot of the lenses focus really close...like around .45 meters! Great for getting close to my small dog while she played in the grass. One of her big sisters, Sydney has a black ball just like this one...the game is that they like to steal each other's balls.
Once again, developed some ultramax 400 color film in Ilfosol 3 Black and White developer and LOVE the results. I look at this and compare it to my Tri-X shots with the same setup and I think I like this grain better.

Dude Martin & His Round-Up Gang.
KYA Radio 1942.
Dude Martin:
For almost two decades, Dude Martin was the king of the western music scene in the San Francisco Bay area. Though he never toured widely, he became known beyond northern California via mid-1930s radio transcriptions for MacGregor & Sollie, then through a postwar network radio show and commercial recordings for major labels such as RCA Victor and Mercury.
Previous reissues have been devoted mostly to Martin’s commercial recordings of the 1940s-1950s. This collection focuses on early transcriptions from 1935-1936 of the San Francisco based MacGregor & Sollie transcription company (later C. P. MacGregor). In later years Martin developed a smooth, western swing-flavored dance band, but during this period he sought a far earthier sound. His Nevada Night Herders were a small, rough-and-ready cowboy and fiddle band. Only a handful of the 100-odd sides cut for MacGregor have been reissued before and none heard here have been on CD previously. These early recordings are a far cry from the sophisticated sound Martin would devolp during and after World War II, but Martin and the Night Herders tackled it all – cowboy standards, old fiddle tunes, new western songs, country novelties, and a handful of originals – with verve and infectious enthusiasm.
I developed a roll of film from my my pink early 90's camera a week and a half ago.
