N38FM

This airframe, registered as N38FM, is a Northrop-built Northrop T-38 Talon with manufacturer designation Northrop Corporation and military-derived serial 65-1T38A. The airframe is owned by TALON TECHNOLOGIES LLC, an LLC based in Carson City, NV, US, and operates under a United States registration. Recorded ownership and registry actions include entry on the U.S. civil registry under the listed LLC, and the airframe’s provenance traces directly to Northrop manufacture with its military-style serial retained for identification.

The airframe features a tandem 2-seat trainer cabin configured as a Tandem 2-seat trainer, appropriate to the two-seat tandem layout listed for this model. Operated from Carson City, NV by TALON TECHNOLOGIES LLC, the aircraft’s operational profile is informed by its twin General Electric J85 engines and associated performance parameters. As registered in the United States, its usage record and maintenance activities follow U.S. civil registry requirements; engine type and high-altitude capability imply focused maintenance regimes consistent with turbojet-powered trainer operation.

As a Northrop T-38 Talon airframe, this aircraft embodies the family’s high-speed, high-altitude trainer performance niche, demonstrated by a cruise speed of 475 kts, service ceiling of 55,000 ft and ferry range around 870 nm. The twin General Electric J85 engines producing 2,900 lbf each position the type for advanced flight training and fast transits within its range envelope. Given its two-seat tandem trainer configuration and civil registration, market and resale considerations center on specialized demand from operators who value the type’s speed and altitude capability, and on maintenance profiles tied to legacy turbojet powerplants.
