At least 1 is based out of Dryden Flight Research Center http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/airc ... index.html
Same link indicates Langley was its former home. Possibly more there?

Re: Some NASA T-38's
While flying around the Orlando area, we'd see them come into Cape Canaveral w/the astronauts a few days prior to a shuttle launch. They would land on the Shuttle Landing Facility runway (KTTS). Parking was on the SOUTH ramp area. Hope this helps fuel some ideas I can help with an AFCAD for KTTS.djnocturnal wrote:i plan on doing a package for the nasa t-38's i just to get more info on them, are they all based out of Ellington Field? i've seen two sit out here at KELP whenever i've been there. any info would be much appreciated

Although no NASA T-38s are based in the Phoenix area we see them all the time at Gateway (KIWA) usually on fuel stops between Edwards and El Paso or Ellington.

if your strugling with flightplans all nasa aircraft can be tracked across the united states, also you can browse all previous flightplans to give you an idea of where they go, maybe this website will help http://flightaware.com/live/airport/KEF ... rcrafttype

Flightaware rules! The only thing it can't track are military flights for obvious reasons.6192 wrote:if your strugling with flightplans all nasa aircraft can be tracked across the united states, also you can browse all previous flightplans to give you an idea of where they go, maybe this website will help http://flightaware.com/live/airport/KEF ... rcrafttype

Actually, I ve been playing around with the paintkit and the canopy appears to be clear and reflective (maybe I'm doing something wrong?). Anyway, I've attached a couple of screenies. These are N864NA and N863NA at Dryden. I've been Googling for info, and it seems that all of NASA's T-38Ns are updated T-38Cs with bigger engine inlets, and ejection seat ugrades, except for these two ships, which are actually AT-38Bs. It seems that NASA has 36 or so all total, and most of them are based out of Ellington Field, though I think two are at Langley, and one is at Ames.Weescotty wrote:Nice.
Reminds me - I must get around to updating them with the clear reflective canopies!!!
Nasa's N numbers work like this: NxnnNA, where the x is a number identifying where the aircradt is based (5=Langley AFB, 7=Ames (Moffett), 8=Dryden (Edwards AFB), and 9=JSC (Ellington Field)). It's tough to figure out the paint scheme for the T-38s, as the T-38s at Dryden seem to have blue stripes that go right to the black anti-glare paint on top of the nose, others at JSC have stripes come to a point before they hit the nose of the plane, and some have stripes that go all the way to the nose of the plane, and then meet underneath.
The paintkit is really nice but takes some getting used to, in that since it's not marked, you have to experiment to find the areas on the sheet color that color the parts on the model. But it's pretty intuitive. Mainly, my problems came from trying to figure out what areas painted the antennas. Also, the mapping makes things that you put on the foreward sides of the fuselage curve toward the top, so it's a bit tricky making that anti-glare paint go all the way to the nose. Also, it's hard to get the stripes on the engine, since trying to get it low enough to be level with the stripes on the fuselage, will make them go under the elevators, which makes it look different from the actual planes. And you can't make te stripes too fat because as you get to the engine inlet, it cus off the top of the stripe.
But boy this sure is great, and it is really neat to see the NASA birds flying.
