The T-37 Tweet is an American-built trainer jet. It has two engines and gives students the necessary experience needed before moving on to the Northrop T-38 Talon. Over a 1,000 planes were built, with more than 500 still serving in the United States Air Force.

The T-37 made it's maiden flight in 1955, and went into service with the United States Air Force a year later. The plane was upgraded subsequently and continues to train pilots. It can also be refitted in order to perform recon missions.
