Can you give a little more info on F20?
Is this the “Hot Dog” fighter that Northrop proposed in the 70s?
It was rejected by US Air Force as being too short on range, and since AF didn't buy it, foreign governments didn't either.
Just asking.

High altitude ground attack plane maybe?
Time for some Wiki.

From Wiki...
“The F-20 Tigershark (initially F-5G) was a privately financed light fighter, designed and built by Northrop”
“The F-20 became competitive with contemporary U.S. fighter designs like the F-16 Fighting Falcon, but was much less expensive to purchase and operate.”
