T-38 Talon


Gypsy

Recommended Posts

In the "for what is worth" department,  I am attaching some pictures of a desk model of an early T-38 Talon that I found at an antique shop in a small town about 30 miles from my home a few years back. Northrop used to give these out in the early `60s to squadron commanders, etc. I saw many on the desks of the flying officers I worked under during my stint as a simulator instructor from 1964 to 1975. I think I gave $25 for it and it stays displayed on a higher shelf in my living room.

Very nice, especially for $25.  Also very dusty, apparently.

Dust? That's what the antique world calls "patina" ??! Yeah, it was a tad dusty but I am really careful wiping it down as the decals are getting quite fragile.

I have found that a small paintbrush works well as a duster for delicate things.  We use 1" around work.

I will grab one of my wife's softer craft brushes and use that...thanks!
