The T-38 Talon is the US Air Force's advanced, supersonic jet trainer. Accepted into service in 1961, the T-38 has trained more than 70,000 US Air Force pilots, and is an iconic symbol of the service's growth from the early jet age to today. Still used to prepare pilots headed towards America's advanced, 5th Generation Fighter Aircraft, the T-38 has also served as a demonstration aircraft, proficiency trainer, "red air" Aggressor, test and chase bird, and numerous other roles. Its nimble handling, ease of service, reliability, and cost effectiveness have literally set almost all the bars for follow on trainer aircraft. Although the Air Force is currently searching for a T-X Advanced Jet Trainer as a replacement, the T-38 continues on, and 3rd Offset Designs "Talon Evolutions" print captures the spirit, history, and color of the T-38 throughout the years. Showcasing examples of the Talon in nearly every role she's flown, this print is an incredible reminder of the US Air Force's 70 years of history. It is a must for any aviation enthusiasts collection!
Printed on medium weight, 46 pound matte paper, this print is ideally set for matting and framing. The colors and finish look great under glass, and this piece is a fantastic way to celebrate the USAF's 70th Anniversary! This unique piece is a great addition to any USAF art collection.
