Description Extended Information
 
Hobby Master HA5402 USAF Northrop T-38 Talon Jet Trainer - 49th Fighter Wing, Holloman AFB, New Mexico, 2011 (1:72 Scale) "Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America - not on the battlefields of Vietnam."
- Marshal McLuhan

The Northrop T-38 Talon is a two-seat, twin-engine supersonic jet trainer. It was the world's first supersonic trainer and is also the most produced. The T-38 remains in service as of 2013 in air forces throughout the world.

The United States Air Force (USAF) is the largest operator of the T-38. In addition to training USAF pilots, the T-38 is used by NASA. The US Naval Test Pilot School is the principal US Navy operator (other T-38s were previously used as USN aggressor aircraft until replaced by the similar Northrop F-5 Tiger II). Pilots of other NATO nations fly the T-38 in joint training programs with USAF pilots.

As of 2012, the T-38 has been in service for over 50 years with its original operator (the USAF).

Pictured here is a 1:72 scale replica of a USAF Northrop T-38 Talon jet trainer that was attached to the 49th Fighter Wing, then deployed to Holloman AFB, New Mexico, during 2011. Sold Out!
