Yes. Changed to T-38 from F-4 Phantom in the 70's when fuel prices went up. .

Range ~ 1000 miles
Top Speed ~ 812 mph/Mach 1.08
Gas Mileage around 1 mpg
Operating cost ~ $10k hour
Cost ~ a few million used (less than 5)

It's the air force trainer for fighter/bomber pilots and is completely unarmed. They did make an armed version that other countries use called the F-5 as seen in Top Gun (Canada, Switzerland has them). Circa 1960's... It's definetly no F-18.
