HU&W Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I thought it was pretty easy to land. Almost died in the final turn once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several years later, doing assaults in the 130 and little has changed. I also saw a dude land so hard the rivets popped out the top of the wing and the gear collapsed.

AZwildcat Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Jesus I was in high school when this thread started. T-38 is fairly easy to land, it's just hard to land well. They also used to fly a lot slower in the final turn...hence all the reading material in the "road to wings." Just wait, AETC will get the TX and ACC won't want to buy it so we'll inherit C models and fly those for another 50 years as CTP and ADAIR.

Get back to work dude...Backseat night landings have just the right amount of "fuckit" involved for my taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd committed a murder/suicide one night in the back seat landing at Pensacola. I'd rather eject than no-flap that thing at night from the backseat. And of course, I'm the best fighter pilot you ever saw. Edited June 19, 2017 by matmacwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossHarris Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 The student night landing, whilst you're in the trunk, is especially fun. Especially when there's no flare whatsoever. Cant count the number of times I looked over and expected to see the struts poking up through the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
