Product description

he Northrop AT-38B Talon

Developed by Northrop Corporation, the T-38 Talon was the world’s first supersonic trainer. Since its introduction in the 1960s, it has prepared generations of pilots for high-performance aircraft and continues to serve with NASA today.

Fast, lightweight, and highly responsive, the T-38 remains a critical platform for building precision, discipline, and real-world flight experience.

N864NA – From Weapons Training to NASA Research

Built for the U.S. Air Force as a T-38A, this aircraft was later converted into the AT-38B configuration for advanced weapons and tactical training. That role required a higher level of pilot skill, preparing crews for complex, high-performance missions.

After its military service, the aircraft was transferred to NASA and operated at the NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center. At Armstrong, N864NA supported research operations and pilot proficiency, helping restore T-38 operations after a decade-long absence. It was flown by NASA test pilots, including Kelly Latimer, representing the next generation of aerospace research.

In 2013, the aircraft completed its final journey aboard the Aero Spacelines Super Guppy, marking the end of its operational life.This was a jet designed to explore the limits off light.
