The Tigershark was a private venture in competition with the F-16. Also known as the F-5G it was a vastly improved version of the F-5E Tiger II. This was the first of three built. It crashed on 10th October 1984 whilst on demonstration to the Korean Airforce and five months later another crashed in Alaska. No orders were ever placed. The aircraft here was allocated a USAF serial 82-062 and is seen at the Farnborough Airshow.
