Brief History of the F-5E/F Tiger II and the Use of the Arresting Hook

The Northrop F-5E/F Tiger II is an American light jet fighter that entered service in the 1970s (the Cold War era). The aircraft gained wide recognition as a versatile fighter and training-combat aircraft, used by numerous countries, including the United States, Switzerland, Iran, Thailand, and Brazil. The arresting hook was installed primarily for safe landings on shorter runways or in emergency situations. The F-5E/F Tiger II served in many local conflicts and as a training jet for the US Navy (especially in adversary training programs, the so-called "aggressor squadrons").
