EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Cessna XT-37-CE 54-0718, the third prototype of the T-37 Twin-Engine Jet Trainer, on display at the United States Air Force Museum located on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Circa 1965, this significant aviation artifact represents a pivotal moment in military aviation history. The T-37 Twin-Engine Jet Trainer, also known as the "T-Bird," was developed by Cessna Aircraft Company as a replacement for the T-33 Shooting Star. The T-37 was designed to provide advanced jet training to military pilots, and its distinctive twin-engine configuration offered improved safety and reliability. The third prototype, 54-0718 (MSN 40003), made its first flight on October 13, 1957. This photograph captures the sleek, modern design of the aircraft, with its pointed wings, tailfin, and twin engines. The T-37's innovative features, such as its variable-incidence wings and retractable landing gear, were groundbreaking for the time. The T-37 remained in production until 1979, with over 1,500 units built. Today, this historic aircraft serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and innovation that has shaped military aviation. At the United States Air Force Museum, visitors can marvel at the Cessna XT-37-CE 54-0718 and learn about its role in the development of military jet training.
