This is what Bill was saying to Jim
 Hiya Bill,
I read a fair bit about the F-20.  Yes, doe to lack of orders it was
canned.  It was similar to the F-5, specs:
TYPE: Multirole tactical fighter
ENGINE: 1 17000lb GE F404-100A augmented turbofan (same as F/A-18 from
                                                   memory)
DIMENSIONS: Span over empty missile rails 26'8";length 46'6.7";height
13'10.15";wing area 200sq ft
WEIGHT: MT 11810lb; loaded 18200lb; Max 27500lb
PERFORMANCE: Max Speed clean >1323mph (2128kph) or Mach 2; combat
radius (H-L-H, 5 Mk82 bombs, AAM & 2 tanks, + combat reserves) 633
miles (1019Km).
It has a RAM air cooling inlet on tail (like Kfir), horizontally flat
nose cone, with TWO M-39 20mm guns (from F-100)
They built three, their maiden flights were 8/30/82, 8/26/83, 5/12/84.
A prototype bought the farm in 1984, not due to any fault in the
aircraft.
The single engine produced 70% more thrust than the twin engines in
the F-5E.
