Not all flight tools simulate actual flight. Some tools enable familiarity with a particular aircraft. This cockpit layout demonstrator is designed to help pilots know where to look to find specific instruments or practice routine functions.

The Northrop T-38 "Talon" first flew in 1959. More than 1,100 were delivered to the Air Force between 1961 and 1972 when production ended.
