FlightGear's T-38 uses a 2D cockpit, and demonstrates how instruments can be minimized and maximized in 2D panels. Although the real aircraft does not have a radar, it was chosen to be a demonstrator of radar in the simulator, and can therefore display AI aircraft on a radar screen. | FlightGear's T-38 uses a 2D cockpit, and demonstrates how instruments can be minimized and maximized in 2D panels.

The Northrop T-38 Talon is a two-seat, twin-engined supersonic jet trainer. It was the world's first supersonic trainer and is also the most produced. The T-38 remains in service as of 2015 in air forces throughout the world.
The United States Air Force (USAF) operates the most T-38s. In addition to training USAF pilots, the T-38 is used by NASA. The US Naval Test Pilot School is the principal US Navy operator (other T-38s were previously used as USN aggressor aircraft until replaced by the similar Northrop F-5 Tiger II). Pilots of other NATO nations fly the T-38 in joint training programs with USAF pilots.
As of 2015, the T-38 has been in service for over 50 years with its original operator, the United States Air Force.
FlightGear's T-38 uses a 2D cockpit, and demonstrates how instruments can be minimized and maximized in 2D panels. Although the real aircraft does not have a radar, it was chosen to be a demonstrator of radar in the simulator, and can therefore display AI aircraft on a radar screen.
