In the mid 50's, the American company Northrop issued a fighter development plan. Production and service costs were taken into consideration, as well as marketing. Specialists paid attention to the lack of cheap, versatile fighters. --- In 1955, a team of designers carried out a private venture designing an aeroplane which became the N-156. In 1954 an interesting engine, the General Electric J-85, came on scene with a small size compared to a large thrust. After adding afterburners, the engine became a dream power plant for the N-156. --- In this time the USAF issued a competition for a supersonic, two seater trainer. At Northrop this was already done as the N-156T, based on the preliminary design of the fighter on which work had been suspended. --- The trainer N-156T was a winner and in 1961, it entered service with the USAF as the T-38 Falcon. --- In the middle of 1958, negotiations with the Defence Department were held, leading to the return of the shelved fighter, the N-156F Freedom Fighter. This fighter, not dissimilar to the trainer, was a low wing fighter with two J-85 engines. Its fuselage was designed according to the "area rule" and thanks to the shape and a flat lower part, it created great lift. --- Armament consisted of two front fuselage mounted 20mm cannons, two air-to-air Sidewinder missiles on the wing tip rails and up to 2800kg of bombs, napalm containers and unguided missile pods. --- The company received an order for three prototypes. The first was flown in June 1959. Between 1960-61, wide scale military tests were conducted to check weather and terrain conditions. The use of a versatile aeroplane for combat, ground attack and reconnaissance, was tested. A further test endured unpaved runways. --- In April 1962, the N-156F was chosen for the Military Assistance Program, carrying supplies to the USA's allies. The new fighter was a perfect choice, being cheap and simple in service and at the same time more accessible for countries of limited means. Due to its excellent flying characteristics, it was also bought later by some NATO countries. --- In October 1962, the name of the prototypes was changed to the YF-5A. In 1964 production of the F-5A started. Within the MAP program, Iran was the first operator, then came delivery to other countries. --- The F-5A and its two seat derivative, the F-5B were produced at Canadair. Aircraft for Holland were assembled in co-operation with the Fokker works and for Spain at the CASA works. The aeroplanes exported to other countries differed slightly. In 1968 the General Electric company worked on a new version of the J-85 engine with thrust increased by 25%. It was used to power the new version of the F-5, the F-5E Tiger II, flown in August 1972 and introduced into production in the same year. Ideas from previously tested F-5's were applied to the new construction. The new aeroplane was equipped with front and rear flaps on the wings, changing the aerofoil, in accordance to conditions. The idea was burrowed from the Dutch version of the NF-5. Also taken from the Dutch and Canadian variants was the closing shutter, side suction engine ducts for the air intakes. Also, the two position front wheel strut was also used, allowing for better take off and increased fuel capacity tanks. The landing hook was adopted from the F-5A (G) of Norway. It also had an increased wing span and an enlarged flush at the wing roots. It could also be equipped with in-flight refuelling installation. In the front of the fuselage, target radar was placed. All these changes were influenced on increasing speed, ordnance payload (3175kg) and improved manoeuvrability. Previous armament was changed for a gun pod, laser guided bombs and the Maverick missile. --- In 1974, export of the F-5E started. In the same year the two seat trainer and combat plane, the F5-F, flew for the first time and in 1979, the reconnaissance RF-5E was flown. Production ended in 1987. --- In total, 1166 F-5E fighters, 241 F-5F's and 12 RF-5E's were produced. --- The USAF used this aeroplane in "aggressor" squadrons, acting as the Soviet Mig 17's and 21's in combat training exercises. Several air forces across the world still fly the modernised F-5E. --- In 1983, based on the F-5E, the new F-20, powered by the GE F404 engine, was developed. Technical problems and a lack of buyers ceased the program. --- The aeroplane at the museum was shipped from North Vietnam to Poland at the end of the Seventies. After a series of tests, it was given to the museum in 1992.

CLC tackled the property’s environmental issues by spending more than $1 million removing the hazardous materials. Buildings which were not salvageable were demolished, while those that could be rehabilitated were renovated and retrofitted to provide modern amenities while retaining their unique design. Tonnes of asphalt, gravel and concrete were recycled and reused in the construction of roadbeds, and plans call for an extensive network of parks, trails and four stormwater lakes to provide recreational opportunities for residents.
CLC has also paid tribute to the property’s military heritage. Streets and parks have been named after famous local military heroes and battles in which local military units participated. As well, statues have been erected to commemorate the former base’s namesake, Major-General William Griesbach and his wife, Janet.
When the project is completed, as many as 13,000 people will be living and working at the Village at Griesbach – a testament to CLC’s outstanding track record in supporting sustainable development.
A section of the Village at Griesbach is the recipient of a Stage 2 LEED ND (neighbourhood development) Gold certification. Village at Griesbach is the first project in Edmonton to receive this prestigious international designation.

La SIC a résolu les problèmes environnementaux du site en consacrant plus d’un million de dollars à l’enlèvement de matériaux dangereux. On a démoli les édifices qui ne pouvaient pas être rénovés et rénové les autres, en les équipant de services modernes tout en conservant leur originalité. Des tonnes d’asphalte, de gravier et de béton ont été recyclées et réutilisées dans la construction de nouvelles rues, et les plans prévoient un grand réseau de parcs et de sentiers, de même que quatre bassins de rétention des eaux de pluie, qui offriront des sites de détente aux résidents.
La SIC a aussi rendu hommage au passé militaire du site, en nommant les rues et les parcs en l’honneur des héros militaires locaux et de grandes batailles auxquelles les unités militaires locales ont participé. De plus, des statues ont été érigées pour commémorer le Major-Général William Griesbach et son épouse, Janet.
À l’achèvement du projet, près de 13 000 personnes habiteront et travailleront au Village at Griesbach – ce qui démontre l’expérience exceptionnelle de la SIC dans la réalisation de projets durables.
Village at Griesbach a obtenu la nouvelle certification environnementale LEED ND d’or (2e étape) pour un aménagement de quartier. Il s’agit du premier projet à Edmonton qui obtient une désignation internationale aussi prestigieuse.

Kendal (black strip) wait for the ball to pop out their side of a scrum during a North West derby against Preston Grasshoppers in rugby union's North Premier league. It was the opening fixture at the Lakelanders' new ground. Multi-pitch New Mint Bridge, built on a 12-acre site, cost more than £10m. The visitors spoiled the party, and sent home disappointed the majority of a bumper crowd, by coming back from 9-5 down at half-time to win 25-19. Hoppers, now unbeaten in five games this season as they look to bounce straight back to National League Two North, outscored the Lakelanders four tries to one. Kendal had to wait until the third minute of second half stoppage time to cross the Preston line. Scrum-half Chris Park's touchline conversion salvaged a losing bonus point.
Kendal's new ground was funded by the sale, to a supermarket developer, of their former Mint Bridge home, which is half a mile down Shap Road towards the town centre. It has taken a decade for Kendal to relocate because three public inquiries were needed before the proposed supermarket was given the go-ahead. RFU president Bill Beaumont officially opened New Mint Bridge in a short ceremony just before the Preston game kicked off.
