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.
You hit the nail and must be an insider. Transition from T-37 to T-38 in Williams AFB was critical for some fellows, they had to quit. I remember also the hour required to get used to the "hypersensitive" stick while flying formation. Could you believe: 4 ship formation acro over Arizona! For me, this bird seemed tailored and after the first TO ( 2 instant AB) I decided (even as naval career officer) to fly for all my lifetime- if possible.
Sorry, back to thread. As org and others could understand, the B-727 IMHO is/was the civilian counterpart. Sounds crazy: both aircraft with a kind of soul?!
