Dan Teague  Arlington, TX	Your information is long outdated. At least 11 years. In 1993 I accepted two aircraft (164993 and 164995) at the Lockheed Facililty in GA. At that time they had the improved T56-A-16 engines longer range/flight time and numerous airframe updates as well as electronic updates. Dan USN Retired. 10/19/2004 @ 14:24 [ref: 8474]
Jim Tarantino  Chicago, IL	I am not sure the range of the aircraft is correct. I remember flying from Ft. Worth TX to Kaneohe Bay HI non stop on a T model twice. 01/09/2002 @ 14:26 [ref: 4030]
