Did you see this bird when it was at Williams a little over a month ago?  I took some photos of it (certainly not as good as this), and it had a white cargo pack straped into the rear seat.  I just wondered if you know what it is for.  I've never seen that done before.

This was the one that was broken down for quite awhile, I don't remember which squadron she was with.  Someone shoot me an email if you know and I'll edit this.  Or if a Mod knows, feel free to edit as well.

Yup, Columbus.  The tailband gives it away.  Was this recent, or was this the one from last year that was there for well over a month?

Of course they get priority over the planes that had been waiting for nearly 15 minutes for him to get over to the runway, hehe...

Can you imagine traveling back in time and telling all the American pilots that were training at Williams Field during WWII to fly and fight against Nazi Germany that someday, Luftwaffe pilots would be trained by the US Air Force and would fly in and out of that same airfield they were training on?  Mindblowing if you think about it.

The first time I saw an Antenov at Nellis and shots of MiGs at Red Flag (Indian Navy IIRC), I thought nearly the exact same thing about Russians...

Sorry for the delayed response, missed this when it was originally posted.  Intake ribbing is the result of the Propulsion Modernization Program, which involves modifying the intakes and exhausts of T-38Cs.  There are only a handful of C-models that haven't been PMPed-out, and none of the As (Beale, Holloman, Whiteman) are getting the mod.  Last I heard, these birds weren't being repainted until they went in for major maintenance (I don't know the precise lingo).

Is it a duct shape change or simply some reinforcement?
Title: Re: Northrop T-38 Talon
Post by: Joe Copalman on April 24, 2011, 10:24:43 PM
Duct shape change.  Go through your T-38 shots and look at the Beale/Whiteman/Holloman birds (all As) then compare that with the intakes on most of the CB/EN/RA/VN (mostly C) birds.  The PMP-ed C-models have noticeably wider intakes.  They also have the vented exhausts, as opposed to the straight-nozzled exhausts on As and non-PMP Cs.

Based upon the recent information from Joe and Chris Kennedy - I'd say no. This Talon has not undergone the "Propulsion Modernization". I don't see the "vented" exhausts or wider intakes. To me, the intakes seem to have the angle forward found on the non-modernized models. Let's see if Joe or Chris agrees.

Thanks for the kind words Joe. While it is not a true HDR image, it has many of the same attributes. I got lucky with the light popping through the clouds at the right moment. Good light makes all the difference IMHO. I think sometimes we become so used to the glaring light and cloudless skies we typically have in AZ that we forget what good light can do for an image. Lately I've really been studying the art of making proper exposures in the camera. Jay has really mastered proper exposure - just look at his recent images for Osh. I've got a lot to learn; however, once in a while the gears mess in my brain pan and I get things to work.
