I had an F85 once, but it was an Oldsmobile, they ain’t around anymore either.

Off topic but for this crowd, anyone near LOS ALAMITOS ARMY AIRFIELD, JOINT FORCES TRAINING BASE in SoCal should make an effort to go the WINGS WHEELS ROTORS & EXPO tomorrow Sunday 10/25.

The F-20 was the Tigershark.

The T-38 is the flight training aircraft.

[SunTzuWu]

Were the T-38 and F-20 both derived from the F-5?

Almost.
The T-38 was developed first. The F-5 followed and the F-20 came much later.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Yep. The first gatling gun was air turbine generator driven from their forward speed.

[Oztrich Boy]

The T-38 was developed first. The F-5 followed and the F-20 came much later.

Not quite and barely.

Northrop was developing their N-156T (T-38) and N-156F (F-5) simultaneously. And the trainer beat the fighter into the air by just 3 months
