The museum identifies this F-5E and its displayed scheme. The scheme alone does not establish every unit assignment.
Identity
Pima identifies its Northrop F-5E Tiger II as serial 741564. Its museum page lists the single-seat aircraft's designation, serial number and displayed markings. [1]
Displayed markings
The museum lists Navy Composite Fighter Squadron 13 markings associated with Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada, around 1996. That identifies the scheme shown in the museum record. The page does not provide a dated unit-by-unit service history for this individual airframe, so this record does not treat the display markings as proof of a full assignment history.

How to read this record
Serial and operator records establish which aircraft this page follows.
Model, equipment and markings may change during one airframe's life.
Display or operating status is dated because aircraft can move.
A photographed paint scheme is supporting evidence, not proof of identity by itself.
