South Vietnam used both F-5A and F-5E (from memory). F-5 however had ultra short range and no aerial refueling capability, so it wouldn't fit along F-4s and F-105s as used in Vietnam.
But other than that - indeed it was the Agressors MiG-21 lookalike. Just like Skyhawks = MiG-17s and later, F-21 Kfir = MiG-23s.

By the way, MiG-21s and F-5Es clashed in 1977: in the Ogaden wars.

[QUOTE="Archibald, post: 670370, member: 138"] South Vietnam used both F-5A and F-5E (from memory). F-5 however had ultra short range and no aerial refueling capability, so it wouldn't fit along F-4s and F-105s as used in Vietnam. But other than that - indeed it was the Agressors MiG-21 lookalike.
