    Wow! Finally had one correct!
    This here is a sentimental favorite of mine. The aircraft was designed for third world nations.

    I knew that someone would say the pic is a Freedom Fighter. Unfortunately, it's not. Another clue: it's the technological upgrade by the same company that built the F-5 and still using much of the design of the old F-5 frame. Take note of the engine.

    Well, I just followed the examples of the more wily ones here!:D The F-5 had twin engines, the F-20 had a single engine.

    Okay, your turn!

    Hello texson66,

    right on target - a modified F-5E from the Shaped Sonic Boom Demonstration -program.

    I think the F-5E was pregnant and its new born was baptized F-22 :D

    All yours :)

    Regards
    Kruska

    Za, I think you're right. You beat me to it. But we have to wait for TA152.
