This is a rare NASA plane panel. It from T-38 BuNu 59-1598 and from what we have learned was the 4th T-38 ever made. It was loaned from the Air Force to NASA to be a chase plane for some of the X projects Mainly the X-15 if you look at the one photo you can see this plane with the X-15. Later this plane was transfered to the Navy and went to Top Gun to simulate a Mig. Navy number was QT-38A. Panel come with the instruments pictured and also the glair shield. We will offer free shipping in the United States. If you have any questions feel free to contact us or if you know more of the history of this panel we would also love to hear from you.
