I really like the F5 Series. Might just have to pick this up.

Ooooohhhh! One of the most aesthetically pleasing airframes - from all aspects - every created! A sweet fighter, too.
In 1983 at Williams AFB I got to sit in one and talk to Darrell Cornell, Northrop's chief test pilot. He told me interesting facts about F-20's capability vs F-16 that, as incredible as F-20 was, answered why USAF didn't want it.

The last of the F-5 series, and I believe the only one that was never used by any foreign air force, and with the project cancelled, never will fly for any service. Just seams like a strange offering with limited appeal unless one is interested in prototypes. Joel
