NASA jet to be reunited with space shuttle Enterprise at Intrepid museum
http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-030716a-intrepid-t38-chaseplane-enterprise.html
Almost 40 years after it gave chase to the space shuttle Enterprise, a NASA jet is about to catch up with the prototype winged orbiter at a museum in New York City.
The two-seat, supersonic T-38 Talon jet, tail number 913, is set to land on the flight deck of the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, a converted aircraft carrier berthed on the west side of Manhattan, in early April. Enterprise has been on display at the Intrepid since 2012.
"This is the perfect airplane to enhance Enterprise's story," said Eric Boehm, the curator of aviation at the Intrepid, in an interview with collectSPACE.

I wonder if it will remain on the Flight deck when the Shuttle expansion is finally built, or is that plan off the table?

NASA T-38 jet reunited with space shuttle Enterprise in New York
http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-042816a-intrepid-t38-chaseplane-enterprise.html
"Well, it's finally here," said Eric Boehm, the curator of aviation at the Intrepid. "We had the T-38 here [on the pier for] a couple of weeks [but] we had some really bad winds and could not get it up to the flight deck. But we craned it this morning onto the port-side aircraft elevator and brought the elevator up."
"The T-38 is finally home and soon to be on display right outside the space shuttle pavilion building," Boehm said.
