Notes: The museum's A-37A is a Vietnam combat veteran that served with the US Air Force 604th Special Operations Squadron, 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing at Bien Hoa, Vietnam in 1967.
Developed from the T-37 trainer to be immediately brought into the war, this was the only aircraft to undergo operational testing in actual combat.
This jet has two side by side seats that offer a wide-view aviation experience in vintage military style with large GE engines that produce a tremendous amount of thrust on acceleration, with speeds up to 500mph in this aircraft that served with the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam Conflict.
