USAF set to take next step on T-38 replacement

Next month, the US Air Force is scheduled to validate a strategy that could lead to the rapid development and fielding of hundreds of trainers to replace the aging supersonic Northrop T-38C Talon if funded for. The T-38's 50th Anniversary of entering USAF service is approaching, and with fifth generation fighters in the pipeline, the T-38 is rapidly showing its obsolescence.
