LAPD in a T-38

If you haven't seen the movie "Dragnet" (Dan Akroyd & Tom Hanks), there's a privately-owned T-38 in the last five minutes of the film. :laugh:

That's Chuck Thornton's pride and joy, and has been for sale for like 10 years now. He found it in a barn in the midwest somewhere when a student landed gear up in a field.

That jet is Ross Perot, Jr's personal T-38. I saw it in July, and it looks like the aft end has some F-5 parts on it.

Yep. He has a nice Stearman at Alliance too.

Wonder why these guys would have bought a T38, if they could have gotten an F5B?

Thanks for the info guys - been busy so didn't get a chance to read the replies -
Obviously there's speed-limits in Class B airspace, so is it 'ok' to go 500mph anywhere else down low?? I'd think some complaints would come in, but if it's legal.. who cares!!?!
I'm sure going supersonic is nothing that amazing; just be fun to do it once in a great while though. I was just surprised they weren't outlandishly expen$ive.. just a dream for me right now as I can't even afford a car LOL

This one's sure to win the lowest purchase price vs. highest DOC of any aircraft on the planet. A really nice two-holer F-100

That things gotta run in the neighborhood of 10-20K an hour.

Not so fast as the guy who owns the F5B also has two F105 Wildweasls. They are not airworthy at time but they are in line for restoration. Also has been shopping from time to time for a MIG29.
