I was stationed at Williams AFB and worked these for 8 years. We had one where the gear would not come down. The pilot landed it on the speed brake and the tail skid. By the time he stopped, the rotating beacon on the belly did not touch the ground. We lifted it up, extended the gear and towed it back to the hanger. We put a new speed brake on it and fixed the tail skid and it was back in the air.
Got to crew these for almost 3 years at Mather AFB and we always wore double ear protection. Forty-something years later my hearing is still pretty good.
I remember these cute little basic flight trainer planes when I was in the Air Force, I was qualified to work on them but they weren't used very much. Nice little plane, I think it would make a nice little private jet for some civilian out there.
Cessna had plans for a pressurized 4 seat civilian version, but it did not progress past a mockup. Cessna projected it would have cruising speed of 465 mph and a max speed of nearly 490.
Flew this for three years in Oklahoma. Go-cart with wings. Too loud and underpowered for sure but it was fun and easy to fly. Instrumentation was barely adequate as well. This is obviously the T-37 just listening to the engines and their pitch.
When are they going to start selling these in their hundreds to civilians? Long over due. 3 Ton dog whistle. I did my time in the T-37c They make the wings by the mile and just cut off what they need.
Unless you flew for some allied nation, you didn't fly the C model. Air Training Command had B models only. That said, there is an interesting something sticking out of the nose area, right side--no idea what that might be.

T37 IP 1970 to 1975. Wonderful airplane to fly. Great memories.

A. The cessna T-37 also known as the worlds loudest DogWhistle
I can remember servicing the T37's in the early 80's and the horrible high pitch sound they made !!
I worked on these I at Laughlin AFB, TX 81-83
A spinning machine!
The 6000 pound dog whistle!
A.....tweet with a minigun! fabulous!
GREAT
Shot this aircraft yesterday!
Reese AFB C/C 77-81 and 89-96. What?
I assume this has an APU?
No APU. Battery starter.
Just trying to determine if it's a T-37 or an A-37?
Didn't think any of the T-37's were armed?
I was thinking the same thing but I think theA37s had J85s and were not as load also this aircraft does not have under wing pylons
