This thread should be stickied.

This is a good view that shows how these guys are geared up perfectly. They have everything they need including protection and it doesn't seem cumbersome. Even the masks with the baseball caps.

The F-5 covered with some snow

You get a bit of snow in the higher elevations? Those F-5s are beautiful. I've always loved how thin the wings are, must slice through the air and have very low drag, that aircraft. This thing was robbed of its potential success thanks to the F-16 but it was very promising and could've done much better. Also has the dual engines and has the maneuverability of a butterfly. Really terrific jet I've always admired it.

You know that Egypt was offered the F-20 Tigershark and the US had an airshow in Cairo in front of the dignitaries and it did an aerial demonstration and they even painted Egyptian colors on it and everything. But Mubarak wanted the F-16 because of Israel, even though the F-20 was more advanced than the F-16A/B of that time. It had a single engine compared to the F-5 and was destined to be a great platform just never materialized due the the success and innovation of the F-16.

I couldn't find the full pic of the Egyptian one but here is a partial section of when it landed at Cairo airport.

I believe they also offered the F-5. Not sure if this pic is real but supposedly it is.
