In the 60s-70s, I had dozens of these as die cast toys. It is still my favorite aircraft in 2023. A fantasy, to see an SR71 to scale to that of the T38.

One of the sexyist aircraft ever built

As a former Coastie , they need to take better care of this one and not burn it out like the Polar Sea !

Wow! What an incredible experience that must have been. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

Pocket change.

take a break

I helped build the USCGC Healy (WAGB-20) featured in the video. It's always nice to see her featured in videos like these.

My question has always been about the impressive j-85 turbojet. All the famous turbojets of that time were replaced in the early 1970s by turbofans that, for the same thrust, were lighter, smaller, but I don't see a 3,500 lbf (16 kN) thrust dry, 5,000 lbf (22 kN) turbofan. kN) with afterburner and weighing 690 lbs (310 kg). Greetings from Patagonia Argentina.

1961- 1965 Randolph AFB Head Quarters ATC . One sweet aircraft.

I was assigned to 68-8177 in July of 85 and worked the demod from Thunderbird configuration to standard training configuration at 478 TTW. She was my baby till she FCF’d in early 86.

It looks fun to fly!

Q+ Z XI = 🤔👍

Worked on t=38 talon in 1969 -1972 jet engines at Webb a,f b at big springs Texas ( now closed ) loved it

It can't be replaced. They should retool and build 5000 more. LJ

Wow! Just a flood of sweet memories!! Beautiful, sleek plane in the sharp Thunderbird paint scheme and markings.... tears in my eyes.

nukes....????

I’m 60.

Tell it to malaysia.

war drug war lot t38 navy air force sale in vitnama war lift war time sole off lot use russ north cuba use them fuck up! war hell 91 9/11 use to day

It’s about time, Russia is all over the Arctic. Put plenty of fire power and big engines.

What a beautiful plane!

Amazing!! T-38 holds an impressive record, very beautiful and great plane ...and what a tremendous suprise for the old Thunderbirds pilot ...even I would be so happy to take a ride in a T-38!!!!

So, if the Dept of Defense is announcing this, does that mean that the DOD is paying for it? The Coast Guard is in the DHS, and before that they were part of DOT. They have never received the funding they need to do the job properly. In the 90's, I served on a CG buoy tender that was built in 1942!

Great video, great aircraft what a wonderful gesture..kudos to Thunderbirds..thanks for sharing

A good video, but I was definitely not astonished.

"Fairfield"😅

after graduating tech school in 1969, my first duty station was Laredo AFB where I was a crew chief on T-38s. I worked on those for about a year until I went to Vietnam and worked on F-100s and F-4s. I'm surprised these planes are still in service.

At the start that a globemaster.
