Why Sell the F-5 Aircraft to Honduras

摘要

The study evaluates the influences of historic U.S. interests, as well as U.S. and Honduran political, economic, and military considerations that may have affected the sale of the F-5 fighter aircraft to Honduras. Additionally, the effect of the sale on regional stability is examined. The study concludes that the sale of the F-5, affected by many variables, is a stabilizing factor in the region, and necessary if the U.S. is to achieve its foreign policy goals without becoming actively involved militarily.
