I will say that to this day I find the F-20 to be the most beautiful jet fighter airframe, ever, period! I recall the excitement over F-20 back 30 years ago and how cool it was to sit in one of the demonstrators at Williams AFB. What the Northrop test pilot (He later died demonstrating it in Korea.) told me about its capabilities took a little of the sting from DoD's rejection of it. Yet I still wish we had acquired a wing or two of them. Truly an amazing fighter.
