Wardog, launch!

The Northrop F-5F Tiger II is a two-seat version of the F-5E Tiger II lightweight fighter, which are improved developments of the F-5 Freedom Fighter.

This plane was originally built in stock KSP, but it turns out the stock drag model really kills speed, and two Tiger engines just can’t shove it through the air hard enough. So, this will fly in stock, but it is slow.

However, this aircraft cooperates perfectly and as intended in FAR, easily capable of Mach speeds with its historically accurate propulsion of two J85 turbojets.

This BD Armory version includes the six wing-mounted pylons, including the tip rail that protrudes forward. It also includes the dual 20mm cannon armamement in the nose (though Vulcans are used as stand-ins). This aircraft is equipped with radar (as F-5s were after the F-5E variant).

Action groups:

  1. Toggle engines

  2. Increase flaps

  3. Decrease flaps

  4. Afterburners on/off

AirplanesPlus is an awesome mod. Just need single seat versions of those cockpits…

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.3.1.
