THE T-39A/B'S HAD LANDING LIGHTS IN THE NOSE,THE T-39 R'S HAD WEATHER RADAR.
THE DIFF HERE WITH MINE WAS THE BACK WAS MODIFIED TO ALGIN AND CHECK NAVAGATIONAL AIDES.
THE ONLY T-39'S THAT HAD A "WARTIME" MISSION WERE THE 1867 AND 1868FCS AND THE 1866 HAD C-140A FOR THE JOB.

LOOK CLOSELY AT THE JET BOOM,THE PLANE ALSO HAD PARTS OFF OF F-86'S THUS THE NAME "SABERLINER"

UNDER THE SPEED BRAKE WAS THE ESCAPE HATCH.
I THINK ONLY 3 TRIED TO USE IT TO BAILOUT. THE 2 PILOTS WERE KILLED WHEN SLAMMING AGAINST THE BELLY AND THE FLT MECH MADE IT NOT IN GOOD SHAPE BUT ALIVE USING HIS TOOL BOX FOR EXTRA WEIGHT.
THATS WHAT I WAS TOLD. IT WAS A REAL B---- TO R/R AND HAD A PROBLEM WITH SEALING.
