The T-38 needs as little as 2,300 feet of runway to take off
I love the T-38. Actually like the F-5 a little better, but they are essentially similar.
Is this true? That sounds pretty short to me, but then again I drive a Grumman and like to have at least that much, although I have done shorter at sea level.

Taking off is one thing, with all that power... landing, with that high-loaded wing and slippery airframe, is another. It must be challenging to do it right, even with a long runway.
Very sorry to hear about these guys, especially as it seems they were nearly out of the woods, as far as the landing went, when it happened.
