I would take an F-4 over two F-5 over Vietnam every time. The F-4 is truly useful for multirole but the F-5 barely covers a few minor niches. People forget in those days there was no such thing as a multipurpose aircraft.A single Adour might have fit in the F-5, but for what purpose? J85 fit the goals. For the cost of one Adour you could have added a third J85. While two J85 didn't get you anywhere near Mach 2, neither would an Adour.
