Meet the Beechcraft T-34 B Model, a Navy trainer with a rich history! 🎖️ While visiting the Oshkosh Airshow earlier this year we spoke with Todd Eby, proud owner and pilot, who shared this aircraft's journey from military service to award-winning restoration. The Beechcraft T-34 has witnessed generations of aviators take to the skies, including Vietnam veterans. With 1100 man-hours dedicated to its restoration, this beauty is a testament to its enduring legacy. | Spartan College of Aeronautics
