Im a Commerical airline pilot. Is it possible for me to log some training time in these T38s??

Just wondering what the mission profile was? But it wasn’t military anyway, so it doesn’t matter. Just an enjoyable day in the 38.

( 3 foot away ) . You Must anticipate and be Extra Smooth / Careful . You Don't learn this on the books , either you have the Stuff or don't ...
