I flew out of Craig AFB in Selma. AL in 1971.  It is closed now.  I went =
by there not to long ago.  It is now an industrial/air park.  Someone =
told me they are converting the T-38s in Selma.  I didn't see any on the =
flight line when I was there. =20

We had converted some to A37s in Nam.  Changed the engines for the T38 =
engine sans afterburner,  The Alvins flew them, mostly.

I don't know if any have gone to the civilian world.  I don't think =
Cessna ever made a civilian model.

  John,

  They still fly?

  I got about 120 hrs in that plane, very forgiving and lots of fun. I =
would love to check if I could still get it off the ground :)

  And indeed the engine sound is something else :)=20

  Where did you fly it from, is it still military based or are there =
already tweets private owned?

    You got ride in a "Tweet."  Tell me have they replace those engines =
are do they still us a vacuum cleaner attached to a dog whistle?  I had =
my very first emergency in a Tweet.  I thought I was hot stuff after =
landing.  LOL

      It was hard, hot, painful, agonizing, tiring, stupid, and a ton of =
fun. If that makes any sense at all. I'm glad its done, I'm REALLY glad =
I never have to go back, but there were a lot of fun times. Including a =
nice little side trip to Vance AFB and a 30 min ride in a T-37 :)
