It was my B-day on the 8th and this is one of the things I got myself with my birthday loot :D

The Milviz T-38 Jet Trainer.
The US Air Force made history when it specified the requirement for a replacement to their T-33 trainer. As often happens in aviation, a design struggling to fill its original role morphs into a swan, envied and treasured as an immortal classic. Northrop Aviation was struggling on the overweight and under-powered N-102 “Fang” light fighter, when the USAF approached with the historic requirement for a supersonic dual trainer. From this a superstar was born, and a five decade long love affair began, with over 50,000 military pilots testifying to the jet’s beauty!

Originally intended to mimic flight characteristics similar to the Century Series fighters such as the F-102, F-104, and F-106, that was killing far too many of their pilots, the T-38A was initially deemed insufficiently demanding! Unlike these Century Series designs, the T-38A featured a very pronounced series of wing buffet sounds and vibrations as the jet came close to stall under any configuration. That faithful communication meant that long after the Century Series fighters were retired, and their surviving pilots breathed a sigh of relief, the T-38 continued in its role as the world’s only supersonic trainer – the love affair going on! (From Milviz product description page)

It can actually be a little bit of a hand-full at low speeds......seems very realistic when combined with A2A Accu-Feel O0

Nice captures Chuck. If you ever come down to San Antonio, you can the T38's a lot out of Randolph AFB. Cant wait till June when the AF and Navy T45's start challenging each other lol. Fun watching them scream thru the SA skies chasing each other.
