Beech T-34C

06/01/1978

While most often flown as a photo chase aircraft, the Beech T-34C Turbo Mentor has performed research itself, notably with a laminar flow gloved wing. The aircraft is equipped with a luggage pod under its starboard wing. In 1989, the T-34 was used to sample Space Shuttle exhaust during mission STS-34.
