Geocache Description:

This cache is located in a HIGH muggle area. Please be discreet when locating as this cache has been compromised more than once. Also, please make sure you hide it well before leaving as the bushes are kept much shorter than they were when we first planted it. I increased the difficulty level due to the high traffic that makes it difficult to search.

History: T-38 Talon Throughout NASA's history, the T-38 has served a functional role in astronaut training and aeronautical research. It was first introduced at NASA as a means of maintaining flight qualifications for astronauts during the Gemini program. Since then, the T-38 has been used by pilot astronauts to sharpen their flight skills and to give mission specialist astronauts valuable experience in a dynamic high-performance flight environment. The role of the T-38 at NASA has also expanded since the 1960's. In addition to astronaut training, it is used as a chase craft to observe experimental aircraft. During early Space Shuttle landing tests, the T-38 flew meters away to document its unusual flight characteristics. The T-38 is also used as a research tool. NASA scientists study the T-38 in flight to reduce jet engine emissions and noise pollution.
