F-5B vs T-38

[Zdeněk Ziegler]

Zdravím pánové, chtěl bych se optat povolanějších jestli by se z T-38 dala vysochat F-5B VNAF. Co jsem vykoukal tak T-38 nemá u kořene křídla k sacákům kus náběžné hrany. Jinak mi to příjde docela podobný Předem děkuji za vaše názory.

Nahodil jsem dotaz do zahranici a zde jsou odpovedi:

There are differences between these 2 planes.Both the air-intakes and the exhausts are different.
The F-5 has wider main gear tires and this means that the curve of the lower fuselage has a break in the air brake region on the F-5,whereas it is a single curving line on the T-38.
The F-5 can't fly unless it has at least a pair of launchers on the wing-tips.The T-38 has a different (longer?) wing and cannot carry any stores on the wing-tip.

The fuselage of the F-5B is quite similar to that of the T-38 Talon two-seat trainer, so similar, in fact, that one must look twice to tell the difference between the two aircraft. Unlike the T-38A, the F-5B retains the wing leading edge flaps and wing root extension of the F-5A, which is perhaps the easiest way to tell the difference between a F-5B and a T-38A. Other differences between the F-5B and the T-38A are a bit more subtle. The F-5B has a braking parachute housing at the rear of the vertical stabilizer just above the engine exhausts, which the T-38A lacks. The F-5B has a double fork on its noseweel in area and lack the square splitter plates of the F-5B.
