Hi All,
I wanted to know why the Northrop F-5 wasn't used to counter the Mig fighters during the Vietnam war. From my limited research, the F-5 has performance comprable to the Mig 21. It also has the benefit of having two 20mm cannon internally, and not mounted underneath the aircraft creating drag.
I'd appreciate hearing what All of you think. Let me say that the Folk on this Forum have a vast wealth of aviation knowledge, of the likes I've seen nowhere else. Well done!
