The T-38/F-5 family of jets are hot shit! Been out forever, easily upgradable, air frame/engines cheap by modern jet standards. Upgrade the avionics/weapons systems and you could put them up out in sufficient numbers to defeat gen5/6 fighters, bombers, as a home country defence force. Wow! Wikipedia has a lot of upgraded info on them. The F-5 was kicking ass on the Red/Blue training until they changed the rules to favor the F-14/15/16/18s longer range radar. Way to go USA! FIX those unfair training deficiancies!
