Steve jahn Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Oh wow !! This is an AWESOME sight,thank you {the link does not work for ME <_</> } The three T-38's is a great display. What I don't understand is how a small airport in the middle of no where is able to get the USAF to give them three T-38's for display. What is the connection here?

jminer Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I recall seeing a lot of the T-38 flying around Offutt AFB back when I was growing up. Anybody have any shots of an Offutt based Talon? Justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott R Wilson Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Here's a few unusual T-38 shots I took years ago. During the Thunderbirds conversion to F-16s, they kept a couple of Talons with the team number on the tail replaced by the squadron emblem. This one had been stripped of paint and smoke equipment and was going on an FCF prior to being transferred to another unit: Here's one of the birds they kept for awhile: You guys may recall the terrible accident in January 1982 when four of the T-bird T-38s hit the ground. I took these at Indian Springs in mid February: A photo I took at Kelly AFB with a nasty thunderstorm approaching: Edited December 26, 2012 by Scott R Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Seeing that broken and charred remains of a cockpit sent chills through me. I saw the thunderbirds when I was little back in the 70's at Lunken airport in Cincinnati and they were cool looking in the Talons. I even got an autograph from the # 3 pilot whose name was Walt. I've always wanted to build a talon with the #3 on it . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdt13 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I saw the T-Birds in Talons in September '81 in Cleveland. There was an accident with loss of pilot as they were leaving BKE after the show, a birdstrike and unsuccessful ejection (the crew chief in back got out OK). Then just a few months later the even bigger tragedy at Indian Springs. Let us hope the past 30 years of fatality-free flying continues for the rest of Thunderbird history! On a brighter note, I see the XC-99 in the background of the Kelly AFB photo. It may be of more interest than the T-38! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
