This T-43A flew first on 2 Jul'74, it was delivered to the USAF on 12 Jul'74. The Gator was assigned to the 455th FTS, part of the 323rd FTW. After the Wing ceased operations, the T-43A went to the 558th FTS ('RA') in '96, later to the 562nd FTS ('RA'). It was retired to AMARC on 25 Sep'97 (AA TH0002) up to 03 Mar'99. It was selected for NT-43A conversion and was seen at Goodyear (AZ) for modification of radomes on nose and tail from Mar'00 to Feb'01. It is now a sneaky and rarely seen radar test bed.
