Looked cool, but it was such a terrible low budget fighter.
It had a really poor air to air radar system, it didn't carry a lot of armaments and while it was fast it had next to no combat radius.
But at least it was safe compared to to the CF-104.
The F-5 was really designed for countries with technically poor rambshackled air forces. It was almost seen by Canadian AirForce leaders as a strategic step back in the capability of the AirForce
