A dream comes true as the T-37 and T-38 await my year of USAF Pilot
Training


Nice post of a Tweet painted in the "correct" colors. :-)
The dayglow orange and natural alum finish are the colors
I remember while hanging out at Bartow and Vance AF Bases
as a kid in the late 50's and early 60's. Now I see 'em painted
in some kind of ugly white and black/blue scheme. Now they
even have one of the ugly ones on display at Bartow Municipal
Airport. The T-38's were just beginning to show up at Vance
when we returned to Florida in 1962. They were replacing the
T-33's there. Here's a picture of a picture my dad kept for the
many years since then. I think this was a Cessna promo photo.
Dad blames his hearing loss on the T-37.
