T-34 Sponsor Group hasn't added a story.
T-34 Mentor' s History
The T-34 Sponsor Group’s T-34A was built and delivered to the Air Force in late 1954. During its’ time in the USAF, it trained hundreds of pilot cadets, turning civilians into military pilots, and preparing them for their next assignments as either fighter or transport/bomber pilots. In 1958, this aircraft was transferred from active duty to the Air Force Aero-Club, where it provided an exciting way for officers and enlisted personnel to earn their civilian pilot ratings. The Commemorative Air Force acquired this airplane in 2013.
T-34 Mentor's
New Mission
This aircraft is hangared at the Henry B. Tippie National Aviation Education Center (NAEC). This makes it accessible to all of the visitors to the NAEC. The T-34 Mentor’s appearance and size makes it a friendlier airplane to approach, especially by younger children. Recently, this aircraft has given free rides to some of the students in the CAF’s Cadet program. The T-34 Sponsor Group members really enjoy talking with students about the aircraft and when able to, love the reaction when they are offered a free ride.
How You Can Help
The T-34 Sponsor Group is raising funds to install four Garmin GI-275 Digital gyros, two in the front cockpit and two in the rear cockpit. These will replace the current attitude indicators and directional gyros. T-34 aircraft sponsors have pledged $3,000 toward this project and one sponsor has offered a $5,000 challenge grant, if they raise $5,000.
