Hi fellows,
it's really a pity that now the crisis is really biting and we had to work harder than ever to earn the dollars or the euros requested by the insatiable fiscocracy.
Nothwithstanding that, we have to survive, mantain our mind sanity and at least sometime breathe the pure air of our preferred matters.
As you can see, I enclose the pic of a Chevrolet Corvair (it seems to me the first model year) but the matter of my post is the beautiful Northrop YT-38 Talon prototype. I received the photo from a friend of mine that asked me why the Talon looks decidley as a single-seater. I have already downloaded the pic of the Corvair some years ago but in that occasion I was interested in the car and the strangeness of the single seat T-38 was unnoticed.
Frankly, I don't remember if, at least initially, the Tallon was offered also as a single seater. The colleague that forwarded the pic to me asks if the aircraft could be a mock-up, if the aft canopy was replaced by a "solid" canopy for blind flying training or if the T-38 was modified purporting the incoming N-156F (with modified hardware or by some sort of archaic photoshop).
I squeeze my memory but nothing appear to me... Something of you, dear readers, remember something?
By the way, administrators and moderators of Secret Projetcs have ever thought that also in the commercial automotive field there are fascinating unknown development and quite a lot of prototypes and projects never mass produced? Could be an interesting idea...
