Preserved F-5 at Sola

[ehusmann]

Sorry to do this in English, but as a Dutch living in Portugal, my Norwegian doesn't go much further than 'takk'.... So hopefully English is actually ok :o

My question is about the F-5 currently preserved at the gate of Sola. I have a website with wrecks and relics and while researching the Norwegian F-5s, I couldn't find which one is at the gate. It is visible on the latest GE images, but only since recently. I know the 225 should be stored at Sola, has that one now been placed at the gate?

Location I mean is this one (http://www.spottingmode.com/wro/location/12371/).

Thanks for any help.

I don't think it is this Starfighter he ask about, Pål. But the F5 at the military gate (ved porten til den militære flystasjonen, like ved Solakrossen).

The Starfighter picture was indeed not the one (though still thanks for it). However, the PM solved the question. Thanks so much, as it is now confirmed it is the 225 as I suspected. Thanks!!
