G'day gent's.
For my Kiwi brothers...

Just found this on my hard-drive!

It's a 1983 proposal to New Zealand

1983 Northrop F-20 Tigershark proposed program cost to New Zealand


- Total program cost for a typical squadron of 18 x F-20 Tigershark aircraft.
- The flyaway price includes airframe, avionics, engine, recoupment, and appropriate administration costs.
- Support and other costs include two years of initial spares, support equipment, training and training equipment, technical publications, aircraft delivery, contract engineering and technical services, and U.S. Government administrative costs.
- Support is based on 20 flying hours per aircraft per month from one operating base with organizational and intermediate levels of maintanance capability.
- Aircraft delivery can begin 30 months after go-ahead.

Program Acquisition Cost
(1983 $, 18 aircraft)
Unit flyaway $10.7 million
Total flyaway $192.6 million
Support & other costs $80 million
Total Program $272.6 million



What a sad missed opportunity! :'(

P.S. I'll endeavour to find the source of this information!

I posted some photos of a display model at MOTAT (Museum of Transport and Technology) in Auckland in the F-20 topic.
