By Fred Harl

The Aero Experience coverage of tactical flight operations at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2018 continues with a look at two U.S. Navy F-5N Tiger II jets from VFC-111, a U.S. Navy Reserve adversary squadron based at NAS Key West, FL. These and other aircraft in the squadron's fleet were constructed from blending front and rear fuselage sections from U.S. and Swiss Tiger II aircraft. The squadron participates in major air defense training exercises with U.S. Navy/Marines and Air Force units.
