History and Specifications:
Introduced in 1961 to prepare pilots for modern jet fighters, the nimble T-38 Talon provides a wide flight envelope and excellent handling. Engineered with both instructor and trainee in mind, the Talon’s seating features 10 inches of added height in the rearward position, precise gunsights, and modernized avionics. Utilizing a “no-drop” bombing system, pilots can receive accurate feedback on their attack runs without deploying physical ordnance, reducing training costs and allowing multiple attempts without having to take off and land again. Since 1961, more than 1,100 T-38s have been manufactured, half of which are still active in USAF squadrons.
