If aircraft were women, the T-38 Talon would be Cheryl Tiegs. Timeless classic beauty.
Guy in the German Air Force in my R/C club, ARCS, flew Tornados, F-16s and the T-38. He just loved the Tallon and says it has about the truest feed-back of any jet aircraft he has flown, no surprises when it wants to stall, or sink, she tells you. She even tells you when it's going too fast. No wonder it has been the USAF jet trainer of choice for some 40 plus years!. NASA astronauts always flew them too. We must have had 70 0r 80 of them when I worked at "Willie," Williams AFB, AZ in 1968 thru 70. wallace.tharp
