Northrop aircraft
Northrop is the American aircraft maker that built the T-38 Talon trainer and developed the F-5 fighter from it as a private venture. The Air Force bought more than 2,000 F-5s for allied nations, and Northrop won the Air Force's 1970 competition for a replacement with the F-5E Tiger II. This site lists the F-5E as a military aircraft, with its published numbers, a photo and a credited drawing, and no flight data.
