I'm not always right,
But I'm never wrong!


Thanks for the links!

I just love this from the fact sheet-
"The T-38 needs as little as 2,300 feet (695.2 meters) of runway to take off
and can climb from sea level to nearly 30,000 feet (9,068 meters) in one
minute. T-38s modified by the propulsion modernization program have
approximately 19 percent more thrust, reducing takeoff distance by 9
percent.
The instructor and student sit in tandem on rocket-powered ejection seats in
a pressurized, air-conditioned cockpit."

Don't think I'll ever experience the "720 degree roll rate" Dudley mentioned
but one can dream right?

Thanks again,

Marty in MO.
