Someone on another email list I'm on sent the following photographs and asked if anyone knew anything about the aircraft.  They look a little like F-5/F-20 Tigersharks modified with a V-tail, but they have YF-32 on the tail.  They are not YF-32s.  My guess is they are movie props...anyone know anything about them?  I have no idea where these photos were taken.

They look very familiar. NASA did a lot of tinkering with the F-5 over the years.

Yep, agree...look at those light weight casters holding up that airframe. A real airframe would require much more. And real jacking frames beneath a "real" plane would very likely be painted yellow.

Thanks Mark!  I knew the fAA would have the answer.
