THE T-39 SABRELINER IS BASICALLY A MILITARY-MODIFIED BUSINESS JET.

Excuse my ignorance, but why would two T-39s be flying in close formation?

Simulating a bomber/attack aircraft formation? IOW, they may have been the "targets" for some exercise involving fighers or even ships. Just speculation of course.

I don't know what these particular T-39s were doing, but similar business-type jets at P'cola are used to train radar intercept officers in how to conduct air-to-air attacks.
