My dad was one of the designers on this Plane for Northrop and his name is on the Patent. He passed away Feb 2005 and I wish we would have had a video like this for his service...I miss him so much.

I want to do this so bad. In great standing in school, working on community service, in CAP and Army JROTC, and am working on some other good stuff. Hopefully I make it to the T-38 when I'm older :)

@Read2Rock Rog that. F-5s used in the movie. The Vance birds are T-38s. Similar looking but VERY different airplanes. The paint schemes kind of make them look the same. The T-38s that the Beale guys fly are painted black, like the "MiG 28s" in the movie. They REALLY look similar.

@Read2Rock The "MiG 28's" (no such real plane) were F-5s.

haha i like how to tail says FTW!
-
@BlackPhantomJambo The wing is the most obvious difference, the F-5 has leading edge extensions and missile rails that the -38s don't have. The F-5s intakes are also shaped differently.

have they ever landed a talon on an aircraft carrier?
-
What are the external diferences between the F-5F and T-38?
-
That's some great air to air footage you got there. nice vid!

My son turned 24 today and had his T38 dollar ride at Laughlin. What a present
what a great video...I'm commissioning in a month and headed to Vance after that...I'd be so stoked to make it into a 38 - thanks for posting!

I believe these 38's are the new "C" model with updated instruments. The T-38C will be around for many years to come I'm happy to say.

You are correct. It's a great training airplane. It will be around for a while, but not forever. Who knows what the Air Force will use to replace it.

Sorry - didn't really answer your question. Yup, they are still flying strong as trainers at UPT bases across the United States.
