Not that outlandish!  When IAI approached Northrop about sub-contracting on the Lavi, Northrop came back with a proposal for a Lavi/F-20 hybrid that would be less expensive to develop.

Forget about his bow and arrows- why wait until that sparrow has done his deed when I can just bury him right now 'cause I'm sick and tired of hearing why he wants to have his way with the cock robin!?

I like the F-20 forward fuselage with the F-16 backend and wings.

Not as specialised as the Original Northop design for a light carrier fighter (below) that eventually led to the F-5 but one can imagine.

ROCAF decommissioned F-5E used as an airfield decoy.

The camouflage is based on that of the F-CK-1.  The colours have faded a bit, but perhaps it might have looked great if the Tiger 2000 project was accepted into service.
