The U.S. Air Force is bringing the T-38 Talon back to flight status while a crash investigation tied to the May 12 incident remains under way. According to reporting from multiple outlets, the service had paused T-38 operations across the fleet for more than a week. During that halt, the Air Force stopped flying the aircraft as it assessed the circumstances related to the crash and proceeded with investigative actions. Now, the Air Force returns at least part of the T-38 fleet to flying status, indicating a shift from the earlier suspension to resumed operations. At the same time, the investigation into the May 12 crash continues, meaning the service has not concluded the review process that prompted the pause. The two reports presented the same timeline: a fleetwide operational halt lasting over a week, followed by a return to flight status, with investigators still working to determine the cause and contributing factors of the crash.
