Great plane.
Served the USAF Thunderbirds very well for YEARS.
Turns out it was only seven years (’74-’81), but it is the T’birds #2 longest serving plane behind the F-16.
Maybe I’m just biased. Most of the times I got to see them were during the T-38 years.
Also, can some tell me whether I am correct in remembering that the F-5 Tiger was a single seat fighter version of the T-38 airframe?
