Thanks Lyle! Definitely the British T-37.
I have a dear friend from my days at GE Appliances and JCPS (yep, we both worked at those joints and worked together as well...) who was an USAF pilot and, of course, flew the T-37, F-5 and on up. Ended up flying the C-141 when he left the service.
That's cool Lyle, sounds like he had an interesting carrier.

What was/is JCPS?

JCPS is the county school system, Jefferson County Public Schools. About 100,000 students, 8,000 teachers and around "way too many" administrators. . . of which I was one, I guess. Worked in their IT department for 15 years doing application development. Spent 19 years at GEA doing the same thing, only on mainframes.

Ah cool - I did wonder. How many times did you have to answer a call about an PC not working only to find the user hadn't plugged it in?
