This intrigued me quite a lot.

Here's a line from the F-5E -Heartbreak One-'s Hangar description:

"As an aircraft with a long service history and experience in many conflicts, it has the capabilities required to survive fierce battles over and over."

Chronologically speaking, the first time we see a blue F-5E is in the Belkan War where it was flown by Jascha Krasnow.

In the Circum-Pacific War, Wardog Squadron used blue F-5Es at the start of the war. Bartlett in particular used one adorned with his personal emblem and number, which the Infinity aircraft is clearly based on.

In the Aurelian War, an ace by the name of GHOST used an F-5E in the same colors. However in this case, the mission in which the ace appears in, The Midnight Sun, is non-canon.

But the question still remains, is this the same aircraft?
