Northrop F-20A Tigershark prototype no.1 (#82-0062/N4416T), showing off the flashy red, white, and black rollout/demonstration scheme.
Fun fact: initially, this aircraft was designated "F-5G", and intended as an "engine-change only" aircraft.

One of the best military aviation anime ever made: Area 88 (1985/1986 OVAs)

Much agreed!
The A-6F and F-14D were the most advanced versions of each plane:

A-6F had 7 stores pylons, more advanced cockpit/engines, and was AMRAAM-capable.

F-14D had more powerful engines, much better radar, and glass cockpit

Semantics question time: Is the IAI Finger considered a derivative of the Dassault Mirage V/IAI Nesher, or the IAI Kfir (assuming the Kfir series counts as its own sub-family of aircraft)?

(It is an IAI Nesher essentially airframe/engine-wise but upgraded with IAI Kfir avionics/systems)

First post over here on Bluesky!
The IAI Finger was an Israeli upgrade to Argentina's IAI Dagger (Nesher A) fleet, supplied by Israel in the mid-1970s.
They had a Kfir-style nose (and radar rangefinder), as well as a glass cockpit and Head Up Display.
