Northrop
company
patch.
The
Northrop F-5A and F-5B Freedom Fighter
and the
F-5E and F-5F Tiger II
are part of a
supersonic
,
light weight fighter
family, initially designed in the late 1950's by
Northrop Corporation
. Being smaller and simpler than contemporary fighters such as the
McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II
, the F-5 cost less to procure and operate, making it a popular export aircraft.
The design team wrapped a small, highly aerodynamic fighter around two compact and high-thrust
General Electric J85
engines, focusing on performance and low cost of maintenance. Though primarily designed for the day air superiority role, the aircraft is also a capable ground-attack platform. The F-5A entered service in the early 1960s. During the
Cold War
, over 800 were produced for U.S. allies. (Wikipedia)
The
Northrop T-38 Talon
is a two-seat,
twin-jet
supersonic
jet trainer
. It was the world's first and most widely produced supersonic trainer.
The
United States Air Force
(USAF) operates the most T-38's.  In addition to training USAF pilots, the T-38 is used by
NASA
. The
U.S. Naval Test Pilot School
is the principal US Navy operator (other T-38s were previously used as USN
aggressor
aircraft until replaced by the similar
Northrop F-5 Tiger II
). Pilots of other
NATO
nations fly the T-38 in joint training programs with USAF pilots.
As of 2018, the T-38 remains in service with several Air Forces and has been in service for over 50 years with the United States Air Force. (Wikipedia)
