tribute to the design.


Thanks again,

If you are ever in Oregon, there's a T-38A at the Evergreen Aviation Musem
in McMinnville - along with a few other notable air and space craft:

Paul Allen (Microsoft) owned a T-38 (he might still, I just haven't
seen it in a while)

N586PC


As does, IIRC, Ross Perot's son...painted in the TBirds scheme.

I'm fairly certain that this particular bird was assembled from spares
and it generated one of those "shaggy airplane" stories where the
owner goes to register it with the FAA and gets told "You Don't Have A
T38..."
