T-37 used to effectively turn JP8 into noise

Those are the fastest accelerating Tweets I've ever seen!!!
-
I like how you can take off really fast by spooling up and switching the thrust deflectors...like popping the clutch for a plane. Can you operate the thrust deflectors at 100%?

Actually this was filmed at GWO, Greenwood, Ms.

Amen!

@skipplet Well, pilots didn't call it The Converter for nothing! (converting fuel into noise)

@Earlbuttle The good old tweet was fairly reliable...The new T-6 has some serious engine problems......I have worked on both.....Forgot to mention the structural problems on the T-6....

I really love this model

Wow, excitement at 250 knots LOL. Good video, I was going to rag on these guys until I noticed it was tagged "comedy". You guys are "dangerous".

6,000 pound dog whistle. Good luck with that stand-up on the Ejection EP. Something like 14 Notes, Warnings, and Cautions. Highest onset of Gs over any other aircraft except F-16.

This plane's role in the USAF was to make as much noise as possible at as high a pitch as possible.

The reason they are switching to the Texan II is economics. The T-37 is a much older platform (1955) and is more costly to maintain. It is also more costly to fly due to the older design, out-of-production, Continental turbo-jet engines.
The Texan II uses a readily available P&W engines that get much better fuel economy and which are easier and cheaper to maintain.
While the T-37 is indeed a primary jet trainer, there was also a light attack version deployed during Vietnam: the A-37 Dragonfly.
