The U.S. Air Force has not paused flights for its T-38 Talon trainer fleet despite a series of crashes in the last 12 months, two of which were fatal, officials told Military.com on Monday.
"The T-38 fleet is not grounded," Air Education and Training Command spokeswoman Jennifer Gonzalez said in an email.
She did not say whether additional action is planned for the fleet in coming days or weeks in light of the recent crashes.
Last week, an Air Force T-38 Talon went down at 7:40 p.m. local time at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas.
