Pima Air Museum Adds F-5E Tiger II and C-23B+ Sherpa
The Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona has recently added two new aircraft to their world-class collection of aircraft and historical aeronautica, a former U.S. Navy Northrop F-5E Tiger II (Bu.741564) and a ex-US Army Short C-23B+ Sherpa (94-0310). The Tiger II is on loan from the National Naval Aviation Museum, but until recently it had been on display at the sadly-now-shuttered Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum near MCAS Miramar in San Diego, California.
