50 years and still in service; that's incredible really. Too bad they can't come up with a similar modern design to replace it...

It is amazing that it's still going. It's too bad someone didn't start rebuilding them with a newer engine, maybe some more fuel, a new seat and a modern avionics suite. There are advantages to the side by side cockpit for training. The air frame itself is incredibly strong and it's a pleasure to fly.

It could have been the world's go to basic military and intermediate trainer.
