Built for USAF as T-38A 65-10327 and transferred new to NASA on 13 December 1965 as N907NA. NASA operated the a/c until 11 July 1973 (FAA reg. cancelled) and transferred it to the US Navy with Bureau Number 510327. It was assigned to the US Navy Test Pilot School, and was eventually struck off charge on 12 January 2001. From February 2009 through January 2013 it was on display at the El Paso Museum of History marked as NASA N999NA. Now on display at US Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama still marked as NASA N999NA. Slide taken by Mr. R.B. Starinchak.

Originally built for USAF as T-38A s/n 69-7082.

On display at the airshow. The tan area next to the Rescue arrow is masking tape covering the external canopy jettison handle access door. Note the air intakes also have a makeshift cover that is also taped on. Airshow foreign object damage (FOD) is always a concern for aircrew who are assigned to take an a/c for display where large crowds will be present.

This T-38 is still active with NASA as of 2022. It was originally built for the USAF as T-38A s/n 66-8383.

After operations with the 12th Fighter Training Wing, this Talon served squadrons at Offutt and Dyess before being stored at Holloman. It went into serieus storage at AMARC with inventory code TF0310 from 11 Dec'95 to 17 Mar'99. It was selected for a lease period to South Korea in '99 and was brought back to flying condition. After it served the Asian country, the T-38A returned to AMARG for another storage period. It received inventory code AATF0383 from 24 Jan'10 to 16 Mar'11. The USAF again brought it back to life for service at Holloman, was repainted black and was last reported at Tyndall

After this Talon was retired it arrived at the 309th AMARG with inventory code TF0166. It was stored at Davis Monthan from 2 June 1993 to 28 March 2002 after which it was scrapped by HVF West.

Two USAF T-38C Talons (68-8121 and this 70-1586) collided during the landing phase to runway 13C following a formation approach at Laughlin AFB (TX) on 19 November 2021. Both aircraft were assigned to the 47th Flying Training Wing (FTW) at Laughlin and were written off. 68-8121, originally on the right side of the formation in the wingman position, ended up below the other aircraft on final approach in a position where neither pilots could see the other.
