F 5's at Wilmington/New Castle,USA
Has anyone information on the Eight F-5's with Taiwan markings at this Airport on the General Aviation side.I think that they may be ex RCAF Canadair ones.

Andy,
Thank you for this info.My friends and I were there 10 days ago and at least one had the Circle with points on the tail which we took for Taiwan but all of the canopies were covered and we were looking from the other side of the Airport.
Thanks again for the info.
