Definitely a T 38. One of the coolest looking airplanes ever in my opinion! Would love to have one.

Just an added note: I was at Barksdale, visiting my daughter and son-in-law couple of years ago. We were out on the flightline just as 10 T 38. We’re about to depart. Students and their instructors, of course. What a great sound!

I was about to say there was a chance that's an F-5, then I realized I could see the wing root. Yes, absolutely a T-38.

Both the T-38 and the F-5 are amazing planes. If I had a billion dollars... (and the medical permission to fly again,) I'd be in the market for one too!

Way cooler than a trainer has any right to be.
