Indeed they fan be found but as my dad is so ticked at. The asshats in our gov had perfectly good ones, pair for, upgraded, and they purposefully made excuses, mothballed em then tried toneell them at lunatic prices knowing they wouldnt sell then PAID more tax $$$ again to some relative/friend to destroy these perfectly good beautiful machines. They refused to let anyone have them no museums, no former staff that had strapped theirnasses into them like my dad.. no one they paid millions to destroy them instead of donating them to perfectly good safe homes. That same gov I've learned since also the same time period changed the rules for pensions interest gained when a person dies so their friends that own the pension investment firms get to KEEP the interest tax free for the pension base for upto a year and not a cent goes to the pensioners estate anymore it's legal robbery of the middle/lower class yet again

Northrop built the YF-17 in 1975 which flew against the YF-16 built by General Dynamics in a competition for the air force air superior fighter. The YF-16 won the air force contract and became the F-16. Northrop joined up with Mcdonald Douglas to build the F-18 (YF-17) for the Navy.

The s demise was due to dirty politics not because it was lacking as a fighter design. In many ways it was superior to the "competition" aka F16 As for the f-8 ir is a child of the F5 design and in essence a sibling or cousin to the f18

The F5E also comes in a tandem trainer version. Paul Allen of Microsoft fame had an F5E which can still be seen on You Tube. As you know, Paul past away from cancer some years ago. This is an F5 because it has hard-points and leading edge slats, however it is not a Tigershark which is designated the F20.

This is an F5-T not an F-E and has had many modernizations and upgrades applied Again proving this is an exceptional airframe design and one of my absolute favs to drive. Also the RTAF/s pick of the Grippen is perfectly following suit since I have long said it is the equivalent of a modern day F5.. cheap. exceptionally easy to maintain. tiny and very very deadly if used right. That is why I fully advocate for Canada to pick the Grippen NG aka E/F for replacing our old f18s (that really were not a perfect pick by any means) and to build the Grippen under license the same as we did the F5s
@stingingmetal96482 жыл бұрын
Totally agree. I actually, if practical, wish Canada could get a fleet of f5 or f20 with modern upgrades. Why not? For the price of 1 f35 , we can have like 5 F20/F5's
@kindanyume2 жыл бұрын
@@stingingmetal9648 Well the 5 is obviously a non-starter.. the 20 as well since even if we had it now it would need a major upgrade and even then it would not be as good as another choice The Gripen E/F as I said before.. think of it as a current day spirt of the 5. built very much the same in many ways only better.. and it is the only official choice avail that actually can do the job and make sense in damn near every way possible. Not to mention again we can easily build the Canuckified version here and even help work with SAAB to improve it beyond it's current capabilities which are exceptionally good esp vs the 2 pathetic bad choices we have officially.. Now for the F20... if it had been wiser ppl in charge back in 77+... then we might have had that but better still we could have had a Canuckified F-18L instead which would have eliminated the only real downsides for the 20.. (single engine and lower max load due to low wing mount).. but again I was not in charge etc obviously.. so lets hope that the idiot in office now continues to be a predictable asshole as mentioned before and that politics works in our fav for once in my lifetime!
