Summary

[edit]
Description The sole Beechcraft Jet Mentor in flight.
In 1955 Beechcraft developed a jet-engined derivative as a private venture in the hope of winning a contract from the US military. The Model 73 Jet Mentor shared many components with the piston-engined T-34 Mentor. The first flight of the Model 73, registered N134B, was on 18 December 1955. The Model 73 was evaluated by the USAF, which ordered the Cessna T-37, and the USN, which decided upon the Temco TT Pinto. The Model 73 was not put into production. The sole protoype is today on display at the Kansas Aviation Museum.
