Minor nit-pick. The (C)T-39 was the Sabreliner. Learjets didn't come
into AF service until the 1980's, replacing the Sabreliner in many
instances. The Navy still flies T-39s.
You're right. I misspoke in trying to relate to the youngsters here what a
T-39 was.
Gee, you must be REAL old. g
I used to work on the A and B models. Nice little airplane. A pain to work on.
We used to have DymoŽ labels over the pilot and copilot's windscreens saying
"Caution: B model, do not stall above 25,000 feet." Most of those labels were
reduced to "Caution: B model" by some wise ass.
