Designed in 1948 by the brilliant Walter Beech, the T-34 Mentor was
intended as a low cost replacement for the T-6/NJ Texan. The
aircraft bore many similarities to the Beechcraft Bonanza, but had
a two-seat cockpit with bubble canopy, and a conventional tail. The
original T-34s were equipped with a piston engine. Fifteen years
after production ceased, the design was upgraded and deliveries
began of a turbo-prop equipped T-34C Turbo-Mentor, which remained
in production until 1990. The T-34 is one of the most reliable
aircraft of its type with many remaining in service today, six
decades after it was first produced. Over 2300 Mentors in various
versions were produced worldwide, including the T-34A for the Air
Force and the T-34B variant for the U.S. Navy.
