Northrop T-38 Talon aircraft are the world's first supersonic advanced trainers.
Northrop T-38 Talon aircraft have acquired a reputation for economy of operations,
ease of maintenance, excellent performance and safety.
Northrop T-38 Talon aircraft are used to train pilots in Germany, Portugal, Taiwan and Turkey, in addition to the United States.
Northrop T-38 Talon aircraft are ised by NASA for observation, and as chase planes for various projects including the Space Shuttle.
Northrop T-38 Talon aircraft have trained over 60,000 pilots, preparing them to fly a variety of advanced fighter aircraft.
More
than 1,100 Northrop T-38 Talon aircraft have been produced between 1959 and 1972, when
production ended. Over 550 Northrop T-38 Talon aircraft are still active. With ongoing
upgrades to the airframes, it is anticipated that the Northrop T-38
Talon will remain in service through 2020.

Radio Control
Airplanes:
Pictured above is the RC Northrop T-38 Talon airplane from Bob Fiorenze. The radio control airplane has a wing span of 48" and a length of 84". A variety of power is available for the RC Airplane. You can power the radio control airplane with a .91 fan, a turbine, or electrically with a BVM Vio Fan. The rc Northrop T-38 Talon airplane features a fiberglass fuselage. Weight of the completed radio control airplane will be between 15 and 19 lbs.
The next two pictures below are of RC Northrop T-38 Talon airplanes built from Park Jets plans. The radio control airplanes feature wing spans of 27" and lengths of 45". Construction of the RC Airplanes is all foam.
Recommended power for the radio control airplanes comes from a Himax
2015-4100 motor geared 4.4:1 swinging a 9 x 6 pusher prop. Weight of
the rc Northrop T-38 Talon airplanes is from 15 to 18 oz.
Not pictured is the Northrop T-38 Talon radio control airplane from 6 MM Fly RC. com. Their Depron foam RC Northrop T-38 Talon airplane kit has a 28" wing span and a 45" length. You can power their radio control airplane with a speed 400 type brushed or brushless pusher prop. All up weight of the RC Airplane is from 18 to 20 oz.
The last picture on this page is of the Northrop T-38 Talon electric ducted fan radio control airplane from the Electric Jet Factory. The RC Airplane has a 27" wing span and a 35"
length and comes as an ARF. Recommended power for the radio control
airplane is a 4300 kV brushless motor driving a 64 mm fan. Weight of
the rc Northrop T-38 Talon airplane should be around 40 oz.
