Is that hangar 48 just above the nose?

Wow - that takes me back. It was always nice to see the F-5s in the varied camou schemes. Thanks for posting.

If hangar 48 was one of a pair next to the B1043 you could be right. The 527th used the same parking area which was vacated by the 30thTRS on the East side of the base. I think the photo was taken looking North West from the lane which led down to the mobile radar shack - that would place one of those hangars in the background.

They did have some smart looking F-5E at Alconbury. Reminds me of trips up on a Saturday morning to get the BT Eagles that were often parked around the back. Can't recall what decade that was either.

Thanks for the comments folks, those cleaned up scans take a while I find, I'll see what else is in the cupboard!!
