U.S. Marine Corps and Navy adversary training continues to expand with the incorporation of additional retired Swiss Air Force F-5Es and F-5Fs. Just this month a Marine Reserve KC-130J loaded the latest Swiss F-5E for transfer. This airplane will become an F-5N+ of VMFT-402, a second Marine adversary squadron to be established at the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina. VMFT-402 will provide adversary training for East Coast squadrons, while VMFT-401 at MCAS Yuma, Arizona (pictured) continues to provide training for West Coast squadrons.
