The F-5 was chosen and production began by both Northrop and other nations under contract. The F-5 family includes the F-5A and B Freedom Fighters, Skoshi Tigers, the Tiger II, and many variants produced by other nations.

Development began in the 1950’s with a Navy requirement for a new fighter, designated N-156, to serve smaller escort carriers. Although the Navy withdrew its requirement, Northrop continued to develop this aircraft privately.  Later, after Congress enacted the Military Assistance Program to provide low cost fighters to less developed nations, interest in the N-156F was renewed. Only two N-156F prototypes were produced by Northrop, 59-4987\/8, with a third, 59-4989 being built as a YF-5A. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1353\/7931\/files\/N-156F_hero02_480x269_fe8c48a5-1739-41f3-b1d8-2906c422dee1.jpg?v=1655750769\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1353\/7931\/files\/N-156F_hero02_480x269_fe8c48a5-1739-41f3-b1d8-2906c422dee1.jpg?v=1655750769\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eOUR PLANE'S STORY\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e59-4988 was Northrop’s second F-5 prototype, and was outfitted for unimproved field operations, performing trials on grass runways with single and double tires on the front landing gear. The prototypes performed well in the MAP evaluation against other possible fighters, proving the design a success. The F-5 was chosen and production began by both Northrop and other nations under contract. The F-5 family includes the F-5A and B Freedom Fighters, Skoshi Tigers, the Tiger II, and many variants produced by other nations. The F-5 airframe was also the basis for the YF-17 and F\/A-18 Hornet.

Advantages of the design were unobstructed visibility for the pilot, the ability to pick up payloads of all sizes and configurations while parked or hovering, and lower production and operational costs. The design would include dynamic components of the S-56\/CH-37. N807, the sole S-60 prototype, took flight for the first time on March 25, 1959.

Before it was delivered, during a check-out flight on April 3, 1961, it became unmanageable and crashed on the Sikorsky field. N807 was damaged beyond repair and remained stored outdoors for almost 50 years. Connecticut Air and Space Center obtained the airframe in 2010.
