Pilots from VFC-111 "Sundowners" perform a special airpower demonstration using five beautiful F-5N Tiger IIs during the Friday airshow at the NAS Key West Southernmost Air Spectacular. VFC-111 serves as adversaries/aggressors, a dedicated "bad guy" force that mimics enemy techniques in order to train US Navy pilots.
Look for special moments like the sneak passes, diamond break, and the F-5 drag chute demo!

Wow, I didn't knew the USN had a squadron of MiG-28s. I had only seem them in video on a 1980's documentary.

F-5 Tigers are probably the most beautifully designed, aerodynamic aircraft ever built.

The F-5 is a beautiful beast, in Chile 🇨🇱 we still have the F-5 operating, and they have updated them for many years, now they are called F-5 Tiger III

Evertime I see the F-5 it just looks like way too much fun to fly. It's such a tiny little sports car of a fighter jet, the pilots who fly it must have a blast.

The F-5 is an old fighter indeed. The ROK Air Force still uses this one in active duty, so it's a very familiar aircraft to Koreans. It's great to see the F-5 in dynamic maneuvers.

Excellent aircraft F-5 Tiger II, even after so many years it looks very modern.

My uncle was a crew chief on F-4's in Vietnam and worked on several different aircraft including the F-5. He said that the inside of the wings on these is a honeycomb design. He said you had to be careful while working around the wings because they were so small and fragile. I guess it's all about weight saving when you have small engines like these do. Still, they are awesome little fighters and they look great with the camo paint schemes.

After all of these years, the F-5 is still a hot rod!

The F-5E is still a superb fighter. I'm not surprised the Navy's upgrading their Tigers for the Aggressor Squadron and the fact they bought 44 retired Swiss F-5s says a lot. It's too bad new, more powerful and economical turbofan engines aren't in the works for this fantastic aircraft. Damn, this fighter is so beautiful.

This jet makes the coolest air sounds

We were there. Outstanding air show with something always flying. The F5 airframe is so prolific. As a kid if you drew what you think an Air Force fighter should look like it probably came close to the F5 profile.

MiG-28’s! No ones been this close before

This video made my day! I worked on all of the Mig and Baron F-5E/Fs up until the day we gold plated them and sent them out of Nellis in the late 80s. These jets are absolutely immaculate and the Gomers flying them are razor sharp! I haven't seen Tiger aggressors fly since 1989. These birds looked and sounded great! The Gomer diamond looks as good as the Blues'!

Beautiful, sleek, and simple. One of my all time favorite aircraft. Thanks for the video and the good camera work. I'm glad to see these planes still flying and doing some high performance maneuvering.
