The Beechcraft T-34 Mentor is a propeller-driven, single-engined aircraft designed as military trainer. The first versions came in the fifties and had piston-engines starting with the T-34A of 1953. The T-34B got a slightly different wing dihedral and interior upgrades. After 15 years , an upgraded T-34C Turbo-Mentor got a PT-6A turboprop engine. The T-34 remains in service more than six decades. The type was and is used by over 20 air forces. Some are now also privately flown.
