Bush Flew Fighter Jets During Vietnam

I don't know what model the JSC T-38s are. I thought they were Bs,
but I'm apparently wrong. We had one for a while, but we had to give
it back or I could have checked.


T-38N, modified version of the A model.

And some of them were modified to chase the Shuttle back in the late
'70s, but not enough to make them into NT-38Ns, fortunately. We
didn't have to modify the F-104Ns and F-104Gs.

No need. You don't fly the SR-71 head-up but on the instruments. The
crews say they rarely even look out the window except during takeoff
and landing.

How sad!

Aside from the curvature of the earth, what sort of sight seeing can you
do at 80,000'+?

I'd probably put-up the EMP shields on the windows to block the
cosmic and ionizing radiation.

Does the T-38 glass cockpit have a HUD?

Hmm, good question, I know the T-38Cs headed for IFF do, but I'm not sure about
the SUPT T-38s?

They do. My next door neighbor flew T-38Cs in SUPT and absolutely loved
the glass cockpit.
