    Beautiful, awesome craft...its red tail truly carries on the legacy of the incredible P51D my dad flew in the war. Great to see the Swedes involved as well....wonderful people !

    I’m in awe of the people who can fly and master these aircraft. Staying ahead of it is a super skill set.

    Saab (the maker of JAS 39 Gripen) is responsible for development and production of the fully installed rear fuselage for the T-7A. The seven rear fuselages manufactured at Saab in Linköping are included in the EMD test aircraft. Saab has opened a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in West Lafayette, Indiana for series-produced aircraft that will be used for pilot training by the USAF.

    If it looks right, it is right and this plane is gorgeous!

    Washed KC-135A's a hundred times or so when I was in SAC, 1989-1993. Funny how things change...... never once wore a harness on top of the wings. I remember post-wash re-lube. Especially the flap tracks and cove lip door rollers. Used to fill a cloth parts bag with lube to do all the cables on the rear spar and MLG area. Would just run in over the cables. If you felt a snag you looked for broken strands in the cable.
  • Finally a jet that the back seater can see from. Landing a T-38 from the back seat is is a lot of hope and pray.
  • Will not take too long until wing attachment points are installed to use it as ground attack plane. Looks like a shrinked Hornet to me and has the same narrow MLG as the Falcon. I bet this girl is a fun to fly. The LEX should give massive high alpha capabilities. Love this plane. Good looking flies propperly.

    Quick correction - the F-22 is not a 4th Gen. fighter, but a 5th Gen. fighter jet.

    SAAB (maker of the JAS 39 Gripen) is setting up a new factory in USA, it will be interesting to see what comes out of this
  • @spencerthu2956
    I always thought the T38 design is ageless and so amazing ! It looks very sleek. It looks very modern to me
  • @jacobwiqvist1760
    I don’t understand why everyone say it is Boeing. It is equally as much Swedish SAAB and the development of Jas 39 Gripen that lead to that aircraft!
  • @Jack-bs6zb
    looks like the love child of a union between an F18 and a Folland Gnat.
  • @bafranksbro88
    Real bravery there, flying a brand new Boeing these days takes it. lol
  • @stephenreese5921
    This is why the USAF is one of the best air forces in the world! Maintainers are the bomb!😊
  • @northsure
    It's an awesome jet and will serve the USAF in training the future US air force and allied air force pilots in advanced airmanship for at least the next 3 decades. Go Air Force!
