The venerable F-5 Tiger is slowly being phased out of service due to its advanced age and obsolescence. Top Gun fans may recognize it as the black "Mig-28" that Tom Cruise tussled with back in the mid 1980's. The jet is also used by the Patrouille Suisse, Switzerland's equivalent of the US Thunderbirds and Blue Angels. Their red paint job contrasted beautifully with the snow-capped mountains.
