Pep Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hi all, I have a friend building an F-5f aggressor but he's added aires guns. Do f-5s aggressors have their guns removed? Or would you still see some flying with guns still installed? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenshb Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 AFAIK, the F-5F only has one gun (the other being a fresh air intake although it looks like a gun). Removing the gun would change the weight and balance, so a suitable weight would have to be installed in it's place with the same weight and balance as the gun. Keeping the gun would be easier and cheaper - at least that's what the RAF found out when they wanted to save money on their Typhoons:) Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 If you still have questions, check out the Bad Boys Groupbuild here in the forums, there are tons of pictures and useful informations about Aggressor-aircraft. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fuji Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 All current Navy/Marine F-5Fs have the guns removed and ballast added. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
