The Tyndall AFB Aero Club has a T-41A that is used for primary flight instruction. Originally fitted with the Continental 0-300 (145 HP) 6 cylinder engine it now has the Lycoming 0-320 installed. Nice trainer, I've instructed in it since 2004. It was still being used to train USAF flight students in the Initial Flight Training Program (IFT) in 2006.

Some good info here, but unfortunately the aircraft listed for the Air Force History and Traditions Museum - 65-5107 - is actually on display at the Air Force Academy (which is slightly odd, since the primary type associated with the Academy is the C model). Does anyone have any updated information on whether there still is a T-41A at the History and Traditions Museum?
