F-5C Skoshi Tiger 64-13332 Bien Hoa AFB 1:72 Model
In the mid-1960s, the U.S. Air Force's 10th Fighter Commando Squadron (FCS) played a critical role in Project Skoshi Tiger, an experimental program deploying the F-5 Freedom Fighter to Vietnam. The squadron tested the F-5's combat effectiveness under real-world conditions, operating from Bien Hoa Air Base. These compact, agile jets conducted close air support, interdiction, and ground-attack missions, often in high-risk areas. Skoshi Tiger was designed to assess the F-5's potential as an affordable, exportable fighter for allied nations. The 10th FCS demonstrated the F-5's capability, paving the way for its adoption by numerous U.S. allies worldwide.
