    One of the few times I think I've ever been excitedly waiting for an interview
    The Tigershark has to be my all-time favorite plane, to the point where I've been digging through the internet to find as much info as I can possibly memorize

      My dad worked on the F20 project as a software/systems engineer but the only thing I have is a sick F20 tie-clip. Too bad the project wasn't selected for production!

    One of the great tragedies of military aviation. The F-20 was damn good plane. I wonder if it can still be sellable with updated radar & avionics. I hear there is 1 or 2 in museums.

    A bit of design legacy, & certainly the philosophy of F-20 lives on in form of JF-17: the rudder & LERx, small single-engine design, potent weapons mix, MMI, fast deployment, & (I resume) great turn around time.

      I also see the SAAB Gripen as a descendent of the F-20. Same engine, similar dimensions and same emphasis on rapid response.

    If I was a billionare, and bought my own country. I would pay Northrop/Grumman to go back to the drawing board on the F-20 for me.
    Keeping the same philosophy of use, but with up to date avionics and weapon systems and improved stealth.
    It would my main intermediate F/A boi.
    Also, you fired a sparrow at a target and it went boom, what else did you expect would happen?

    2 for 2
    Northrop losses 2 fighter aircraft production contracts.
    The F20 & the YF23
    Seems Northrop doesn’t pay their lobbyists enough.

      At the time, they also had the B-2 Spirit, which was a massive project in its own right (probably worth more to the company than the F-20 and YF-23 combined)
