Built in 1955 and originally USAF 55-0156. When the USAF replaced the last of their T-34As with T-41s and T-37s at the beginning of the 1960s, those not transferred for foreign military service were passed to Air Force flying clubs and the Civil Air Patrol. However the low-wing design made them unsuitable in the search and rescue role and wing-spar repairs that became necessary in the late 1990s saw the last of the CAP T-34s retired by 2003. Despite this, registration N8245E remains current in 2025 This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
