The
T-38 is probably one of the most recognizable aggressor aircraft that
the US military has ever flown. Not only did the USAF use them but
the US Navy did as well. They were also used as pilot training
aircraft for Lead In Fighter Training (LIFT) during the 1980s'.
This
Twobobs sheet is kind of nostalgic in nature since it takes us back in
time to when Twobobs first hit the scene with their aggressor aircraft
sheets. Three aircraft are represented on this sheet.
A/C
23632 is painted in the "Grape" scheme and is representative
of a 64th FWS jet from Nellis AFB, circa August 1975.
A/C
13168 is painted in the "Snake" scheme and is from the same
squadron and the same time frame.
A/C
88138 is not a true aggressor aircraft, but is a LIFT jet from Holloman
AFB. These A/C were painted in an aggressor style camo scheme and
this particular aircraft sports a unique piece of artwork on the intake
that reads "City of Alamogordo" which is the town right
outside Holloman AFB.
The
Holloman LIFT jet is in fact an AT-38B and has some modifications that
are super easy to do for you modelers that would like to model this
particular jet. There is some verbage on the instruction sheet
that talks to these mods.
