What's going to happen to the T-38?

They might look slow but they're scorching, flying at 180 mph plus on final.

I didn't know the speed on final and thanks for giving that, but even without that I reckoned it was a matter of perspective: the plane is so huge it is going to look slow on approach no matter what.

For the real white knuckes,try the approach to Adak,Alaska.You won’t forget it…

I was looking through some approach plates at runways in Alaska, one of the approach plates, maybe Adak, said,"Plan approach carefully, successful missed approach improbable". But that's Alaska.

What tail letters? Holloman used to have black T-38’s flying chase on F-117’s

I'm afraid I have no idea, never got close enough to see.

I think Holloman tail codes on their T-38s were "HO"

I can see the guys running that tail code getting ribbed when visiting other outfits
