Re: T-38s as Astronaut aircraft: how much longer in service?

True. But also, actual experience in a T-38 is no substitute for actual
experience in an STA or Orbiter. Hence, they serve no purpose in that

at stake, that the main reason for letting pilot-astronauts fly themselves
in to KSC is to help them feel good about themselves.

As pilots, they have to stay current on *something*.
