That jet is a T-38 Talon and is probably DOD since you act like you haven't seen one before.

Start working on the 4* dude. Trainers are more difficult to fly in windy conditions anyway (due to excessive dihedral). The rudder is un-natural even for full size pilots, so you need to mentally calibrate yourself to flying with crosswinds each time you go up, or land. I forget how to use the rudder on landing and takeoff even with much experience, especially when tired.

Good job with the effort though and keep truckin!
