The T-38 was also notable for how it helped spur on the development of fighter jet technology. This is significant because of the lasting impact the F-5 family of fighter jets had on future jets. The F/A-18s owe something of their design to the F-5s and, by extension, the T-38.
As a modification of the F-5, it remains one of the longest-serving jets in the US Air Force, with its total service time stretching back 50 years. Pilots from other NATO nations take place in joint training sessions as well.
