F5-G/F20 Tigershark was in direct competition with the F16. it had the same engine as the F18 (but only 1 as against 2 on the F18), top speed of mach 2.3 and had a smaller turning radius than the F16 (it could actually out-fight the F16 in a dog fight.) i read somewhere before (long time ago) the F-16 was chosen because the US did not want to award 2 contracts (F18 and F20) to one manufacturer (the engine only by northrop, since the F18 is actually manufactured by mcdonnel douglas).
napaka-poor talaga natin, F5-A na lang nga meron tayo nawala pa.
