The first flight of a T-38 Talon was in 1959, it is still in use, and even testing the latest in military artificial intelligence designed to control all electronic systems, globally.
During the first half of July 2021, U.S. Northern Command (NorthCom) and North American Aerospace Defense Command (aka Nor-ad) conducted what they call a Global Information Dominance Experiment (GIDE-3), part of an Architecture Demonstration and Evaluation (ADE-5).
The GIDE-3 included T-38 Talons flown by the 586th Flight Test Squadron. The GIDE-3/ADE-5 flights were launched from Alpena Combat Training Center, Michigan.
