Are those Talon T-38s armed? Just wondering since they also accompany the Space Shuttle during landings.

Thank goodness...I needed a shuttle fix! http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...ns_thumbs1.gif
Hi Jordy http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/a...ns_winken4.gif

Not to my knowledge, I've never heard of one armed, and they're owned by NASA usually, not the USAF. It's based off the F-5, the T-38 is only used in training as a supersonic trainer (the first one actually). If there were an emergency the Air National Guard would have to be called.

And trust me those things are loud, especially in 4-ship formation.

Hi Envy!

I see space people.

I like space shuttle but it doesn't like me....

I though I once seen t38s at either robins or dobbins afb?

Anyone pilots here?

I know a little, I don't think there's any based there, but could be flying around doing training.

So I take it you are lol.

This was years ago while in CAP. They helped me get my students pilots license and my gliders license at pine mountain ga at the ripe age of 15 after completing my solo flight.

Awesome program

Ps we also toured Lockheed when the f22 was classified. I remember seeing the very tops of the vertical stabilizers in awe. I irrc it was still black; not yet grey.

Nice, I had a friend who interned there when they were building the 22 there. It's going to be years before anyone including me ever understands what that aircraft has and the capabilities of it.

How similar is that to the jsf?

They're actually almost completely different, I don't know if technologies were shared, but the F-22 is built around being an air-to-air asset whereas the F-35 is more air-to-ground. Air superiority as to an air support operation.

Thanks:thumb:


Sorry for the rambling on my behalf op

Hmm..

Ahh.. The F-22. What a beautiful aircraft.

Ah the F-22. I have dreams about that jet:D

Some technology is shared, but the F-35 packs nowhere near the technological prowess the F-22 has.

It's a shame the F-22 is no longer in production.
