Pilots from the 80th Flying Training Wing taxi down the runway for an initial takeoff in a T-38 Talon at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, June 19, 2019. The T-38 Talon is a twin-engine, high-altitude, supersonic jet trainer used in a variety of roles because of its design, economy of operations, ease of maintenance, high performance and exceptional safety record. Air Education and Training Command is the primary user of the T-38 for joint specialized undergraduate pilot training. Air Combat Command, Air Force Materiel Command and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration also use the T-38A in various roles. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Madeleine E.
