Northrop T-38 Talon (64-0297) - One of my earliest posts to the FA photo gallery was a capture of two Northrop T-38 Talons making a side-by-side short final approach to RNO. Now, many years later, I find one of those same Black Talons, 64-0297, visiting Reno again. These two Beale AFB-based Talons are snapped here not long ago glistening in the morning sun on the Atlantic Aviation ramp.

All of Beale's Recon Squadron aircraft are painted black and red.

You are right, Gary... and I managed to "capture" one of Beale AFB's black and red marked T-38 Talons at an airshow some years ago, 66-4332... :-)

Hi, Cliff. When I see the first two numbers in the regs of the ones I snapped here ("64") and the one you clicked ("66"), it makes me wonder how many air miles these old birds have amassed. The government got its $$$s worth out of these, eh? (wave)

Gary... that is the "truth"!!! These Air Force birds have been flying for quite a while!!! (my "wave" back to You, my friend!)

Ace shot Gman_ the black and red lettering look sinister! 5x2 for each jet!
