Europe's Final Freedom Fighters at Talavera la Real

Post by DJdeRidder »

Earlier this year I had an opportunity to spend two days with the F-5 Freedom Fighters at Talavera la Real. Over 50 years after being introduced into Spanish service, they are still being used as lead-in fighter trainers.

Let's get on with the photos!

Yes! Another vote for the topside - what a beautiful image of a seriously lovely aircraft.
