Iron City,
I went through T-38 training over 35 years ago. If memory serves me, I went super in the aircraft at UPT maybe once. Going super is no big deal but the handling characteristics of the T-38 were nearly identical to the several century series fighters I flew, albeit much more docile and light. Initial training in the T37 was much like flying a cessna 172, no big deal. Initial flights in the T-38 were quite different however. I later taught air to air in the T-38 against most of our then front line fighters. It represented itself admirably. Which aircraft is best for training? Beats me, but what a great time it was.
