I was thinking of the T-38 also. Guys would say "it's hard to land" etc, etc. Once you figure it out it was a wonderful flying airplane. Some guys never figured it out and some even quit the program when they could not overcome their fear of the T-38.
I always thought the -38, the Lear 23 and the 727 were similar in that when you pulled off power, the nose rose slightly. IF you held what you had when the nose came up, it worked out nicely. IF you let the nose move or fall through, it was going to be a firm landing.
Maybe the others did it too but I could hear when the tanker went into ground effect. the sound of the engines changed due to the ground effect and you could literally when you got close to the runway. Probably can't hear it now...
Of all the airplanes I have had the privilege to fly still the most challenging to consistently land good is my 1946 Swift. That little rascal just keeps coming after you and with gusty crosswinds, it focuses my attention like no other airplane. And yes, I know some guys think it is just a sweetheart but with a 90deg cross with 10 gusting to 18kts, it gets my full attention.
The 757/767 were just fat 737s... wake me up after touchdown. I understand the -800 has some tendencies that require a deft touch but the I only did the -200/-300 and -400.
