The T-38 Talon Twin-Jet Supersonic Trainer is a vital training tool used by B-2 Spirit stealth bomber pilots.
The image above shows something you don’t see every day: a T-38 Talon and a B-2 Spirit during a training mission over their home base at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, on Feb. 20, 2014. Both planes are part of the 509th Bomb Wing.
The T-38 Talon jets, used to train B-2 Spirit aircrews, are assigned to the 394th Combat Training Squadron. Their role is to provide the 509th Bomb Wing with highly qualified, mission-ready pilots, as well as to implement all B-2 and T-38 formal training courses.
