The first prototype of this aircraft, designated by Cessna as a Model 318, made its maiden flight on October 12, 1954. It was exceptional in having the pupil and instructor seated in what had long been considered to be an ideal side-by-side arrangement (contrary to the normal U. S. practice of tandem seating). The first production planes (T-37As) didn't enter service until 1957, after a number of changes and modifications.. The T-37B, with more powerful engines and improved nav/com systems, was introduced into service in November 1959, and all surviving T-37As were converted to this standard. On May 2, 1967, the USAF started taking delivery of the A-37 Dragonfly a version of the T-37 with armament and increased power, for use in Vietnam. When production of the A-37 ended later in 1967, 577 had been built; serving with the USAF, the Air National Guard, the South Vietnam air force, and in small numbers to other friendly nations. Production of the T-37 continued until 1977, with a total of 1,268 being built. All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and comes fully assembled with removable desk stand.
