That splinter camo paint scheme is awesome!
Dwight Hartje
Excellent catch, Gary! Is that another one of the "aggressor" aircraft used in US air combat training?

That's correct, Dwight. VFC-13 is the NAWDC aggressor squadron at KNFL. I've seen and snapped all of their aircraft, but catching this one doing T&Gs at Reno was unique. On the day I captured this shot, "Bogey One-Oh" was the only Tiger and it only did this one pass, but the very next day this one was back accompanied by "Bogey Four-Oh," a second F-5. TY for the comment, Dwight.
