Northrop RF-5 Tigereye (76-1532)
Shallow climb departure from 13R on a midafternoon training sortie.

* This F-5 was previously flown by the VFC-13 "Fighting Saints" here at NAS Fallon. All F-5s assigned to VFC-13 were transferred to VFC-204 last year; VFC-13s F-5s were replaced by ex-USAF F-16s, and VFA-204 was redesignated as VFC-204, an adversary squadron, when it received VFC-13's jets. * 102v / 6h

By the time this Tiger took off, the wind was blowing very strongly out of the west. Every aircraft participating in the afternoon's training took off from Runway 25 -- INTO the wind -- except this one. And judging by the bouncing and skidding this Tiger endured as it came off 13R into an intense X-wind, we suspected that "Tinderella" would have chosen to leave from 25 -- IF 25 had been a bit longer. (25 is the shortest of NFL's three runways and, at only 7000 feet, is just half as long as the 14,000 foot long 13R-31L that this Tiger used for takeoff.)
Great shot Gary!
Fantastic shot Gary. Also the TAC F5 and the Super Hornet at NAS Fallon!
