Built for Speed, America Sold the F-5E Tiger Jet Around the World
The F-5E modernization program continued through the 2000s and 2010s, with the final jet being delivered in 2013.
Here s What You Need To Remember: The program began in the 2000s when a contract was awarded to the Brazilian firm Embraer to modernize forty-six F-5Es with European and Israeli technology.
