  4. FA-50 was designed to replace F-5E. F-20 is just a 3rd gen F-5 airframe with 4th gen avionics and a single F404-GE-100 engine. Hornet is the real successor to the F-5. F-20 lacks the 4th gen body lift designs, hence it's inferior to FA-50 which also has a single F404-GE-xxx engine.

  5. F-21 is the Indian version of the F-16V Block 70/72.

  7.  @williamchick6649  13 F-111C units were preserved in aviation museums and RAAF airbases. 23 F-111C units were buried. Buried F-111C units were stripped bare and partly dismantled. The fuselage has asbestos. 23 F-111C units were used as spare parts for the remaining F-111C units. RAAF has preserved the remaining and intact F-111Cs. The 13 intact F-111C units are still owned by the Department of Defence.

  8.  @williamchick6649  I don't own them i.e. Australia's Department of Defence still owns F-111C units.
