Yes but other than being the right aircraft how do the photos reflect the news title ?

Still cool pics though, wouldn't mind something like this in my living room, don't think the wife would be too happy about it though

How about this

Embraer Defense and Security has handed the final upgraded F-5EM Tiger II fighter aircraft to the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) at Santa Cruz Air Force Base in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

This delivery forms part of the F-5BR modernisation programme contract received by the company for the upgrading of the first batch of 46 F-5E/F aircraft in 2000.

Re-designated as F-5EM and F-5FM, the upgraded aircraft are equipped with advanced electronic warfare systems, targeting and self-defence systems, SELEX Grifo F radar, INS/GPS-based navigation and air-to-air refuelling systems, as well as greater operational capabilities, extending its service life by at least 15 more years.
