Development of the CF-5 began in 1959, when Northrop announced that it was holding discussions with a consortium of European countries, as well as Australia and the UK, regarding licence production of the N-156F. Although the European countries decided to build the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, Canada acquired a licence for the F-5.

| - Development of the CF-5 began in 1959, when Northrop announced that it was holding discussions with a consortium of European countries, as well as Australia and the UK, regarding licence production of the N-156F.

- The Canadair CF-5 (officially designated the CF-116 Freedom Fighter) was the Canadair licensed-built version of the American Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter aircraft primarily for the Canadian Forces. The CF-5 was upgraded periodically throughout its service career in Canada. The Canadian Forces retired the type in 1995, although CF-5s continued to be used by other countries into the early 21st century. The CF-5 was ordered by the Royal Canadian Air Force, which became part of the Canadian Forces on 1 February 1968. The new unified force took delivery of the first CF-5s (it was almost universally referred to as the CF-5 except in official documentation) at the end of 1968. Total production by Canadair for Canadian Forces was 89 single-seat aircraft and 46 dual-seat aircraft. Many were also built for the Netherlands and Norway as well, and some surplus aircraft were sold to Venezuela.
