There is no such system on any T-38, including the new C models with glass
cockpit.
Well, I'll be dipped. I would have sworn on a stack of Bibles that I had know
people who experienced such a thing. Also would have sworn there was a lengthy
flight test and review in Private Pilot about 35 years ago that described the
whole thing. Well, I have been wrong before, and now it's twice this year and
it isn't even August.

No autopilot of any kind in the Talon. It does have stab-aug and it
does have an ILS.
