….. 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.

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).
