Sometimes unrelated bad things happen.

Back in the early/mid 50's a crash a week was a good thing.

My grandfather was a FE in MATS at the time. His wing lost 4 airplanes in the span of a week in 1956.

Looks like the T-38s have been grounded:

Wichita Falls, TX - local news
Looking from the pics it either happened on landing of T/O. Dual sortie what it appears like.

2 crashes and 4 fatalities in a week, in ejection seat aircraft. The question mark over my head is huge.

Could you indicate where the pics were found? Watched the video, and the news didn't include any fotos. Thanks

SIG 600, mine too? Having flown the -38 back when it was new and the ejection seat was not useful in the pattern I could see guys staying in. But now, WHY?

Early 50s and 60s... somebody ask John Mccain how many planes he's crashed.... now his wife says he cant drive well!

Anybody know the name or initials of the IP?

I've got a college buddy FAIP'n down there and I can't get ahold of him...

B.F.
He is my brother-in-law's brother. He is survived by his wife and three kids. He will be missed.

Does anybody know how many T-38s the Air Force operates now? Just curious.

Sad day for everyone. I'll be sad when the 38 is phased out. My dad had many enjoyable flights in them back between 67-69 except for one flight that nearly killed him. Wake vortex landing behind a loaded F-111. Tears to the family members and friends.

 

[CAL to T-1A]

Over 500 T-38s are still operating.

Flew Eagles with B.F. Great guy. He'll be missed
