Sep 17, 2007 - hermoso caza. el northrop F20 tigershark fue un diseño de caza ligero, economico, y perfectamente capaz de competir con, y derrotar a cualquier caza de cuarta generacion. es una lastima que no le hayan encontrado un lugar. fueron los politicos estadounidenses quienes dieron una puñalada por la espalda a northrop. gracias por mandar este video, encontrar videos de este caza es muy dificil

Jun 10, 2008 - spanduer90- that would pwn!! It would be funny if it could take out planes like the f-22, su-37, and Eurofighter typoon!!!

Jun 25, 2008 - i don't think so =\ I think the F-16 with thrust vectoring can do it,but not a F-20 xD

Aug 1, 2008 - man this thing shoulda entered service

Poseidon500 Says:

Aug 7, 2008 - Well, it almost did, but customers did not want to buy a plane that was not one of the U.S.'s front line fighters. It was never meant for service in the U.S. but for their allies. Naturally, the "allies" do not trust American business or politics and would not order the plane. Also, Regan decided to sell the F-15 and f-16 to anybody who could afford it. It is really a shame however because this plane could do the job properly.

Sep 3, 2008 - The Tigershark is the most badass jet in the world BY FAR, in my opinion.I like everything about it, the awesome aerodynamic looks, the two nose mounted 20mm cannons, the short wings on the streamlined body, etc.I really wish that it would have been put into service.Atleast the Tiger II exists in large numbers, and it's pretty awesome too.

Sep 30, 2008 - man the f-5 sucks compared to the f-20 i wonder why no one bought it

Oct 14, 2008 - Ponder this thought for awhile. The f-20 was built without any military backing. Also the subcontractor who built different parts for the planes where companys that the military thought were not good enough. Final thought, they had to make sure that it never got built. Because if it did perform well it would have been the first example of the civilian avation market making the usaf look like, well you get the picture.
