NASA has unveiled a striking new livery on one of its T-38 trainer jets, featuring the Artemis program's logo and a Moon graphic. The design, created by pilot Sean Brady, aims to bridge the gap between training and space missions. The jet, tail number N924NA, was repainted during routine maintenance and now stands out at Ellington Airport.

Brady noted that while the T-38 doesn't fly to space, the new look helps communicate its role in preparing astronauts for lunar missions. The Artemis III mission, targeting June 2027, will test docking techniques, with Artemis IV aiming for a Moon landing by 2028.
