Did a T-38 crash west of San Antonio today?

According to KSAT news a T-38 did go down near Hondo, pilot ejected safely

dang...the last one that went down was just about a month ago...

Was it an XL jet?

 

[Huggyu2]

No, it was an RA jet, according to the press. I'd put my money on it being an IFF jet, not a PIT jet, based on a couple of things in the press release.

Yeah, like it being a solo IP, for example.


I was unaware that IFF guys are flying at RND nowadays...I thought IFF was only conducted at Moody and Sheppard.

All SUPT bases and RND will eventually have IFF if not in-place already.


I think I'll just wait for the 30 day report on this recent mishap...

You're right. I'll avoid the speculation. That's all it is.... a guess.

Yes, I'm aware of this. I just didn't think it was happening already.

I was in one of the last IFF classes at RND in 2001. So unless they've moved it back from Moody, I'd bet it's a PIT jet.
