F5's Tested Against Enemy in Vietnam: two US Air Force F5 Freedom Fighters which are among the dozen of the needle-nosed fighters being tested in Vietnam are shown circling the Black Virgin Mountain near Cambodian border in a strike against the enemy. A provisional squadron is carrying out an exhaustive 120-day test of these planes, weighing assets against some obvious drawbacks. Containers under bellies of planes are fuel tanks
