The T-38A Talon is an American two-seat, supersonic jet trainer that made its first flight as early as 1959. Designed and built by Northrop, it entered service with the United States Air Force in the 1960s. The T-38A was actively used during the Cold War and is still used as the basic training aircraft for future USAF fighter pilots, as well as by NASA and the air forces of several other countries such as Germany, Turkey, Portugal, and South Korea.
