….. Building A Replacement For The T-38 "What exciting news it was yesterday. After years of waiting, we finally got to hear the USAF's choice for the jet that would replace the hugely successful, but half-century-old T-38 Talon trainer. But the reality is that Boeing's victorious T-X design represents so much more than just a new piece of equipment intended to replace another that has reached the end of its service life. This decision has wide-ranging impacts on many different levels, and for Boeing, in particular, it is a game changer….."

That is an interesting bit of news! Good for Boeing, they really needed something for after the F15/16/18 lines finally close. And the writer is quite correct that a replacement for the T38 would make an awesome cheap-fighter. In the High/Low concept, it'd let an F16E/F take the 'high' option while the T-X fills the 'low' option. Even with nothing more than a pair of Sidewinders on the wingtips, a T-X would be a pretty dangerous dogfighter (noted downside of NO GUNS, though). |
