I saw this ad, and also a website, for a company that sells T-38s to people. They're aircraft the military is done with, this company refurbishes them (if necessary) and sells them, at not much more than a "typical" aircraft. They also offer training as part of the package.
I'm just curious though, since they can go supersonic, I know you can't go breaking the sound barrier wherever you feel like it. Even the military is restricted unless dealing w/an emergency. If you owned one of these aircraft, could you eveer go supersonic at all anywhere?? What about getting a certain distance off shore and breaking the sound barrier where you wouldn't bother anyone? Possible or not?
If I ever had the money, it'd be pretty neat to have one I think, but pointless if you couldn't go supersonic at least every now and then - otherwise it'd be like having a fancy car but never being able to go anywhere but around the block and never above 3rd gear! LOL
Thanks
