Pakistan will get 34 T37 from Turkey.

[Cengiz Dev]

Somebody was mentioning that it is T-37s and Pakistani Consulate in Turkey confirmed it. I wonder why is this T-38s being mentioned everywhere.

Maybe because we dont use them anymore and retired those planes after 49 years.
The Turkish Airforce use instead the T-37's the Korean made KT-1T planes and we will use our own design TAI made HURKUS planes for basic traning.
After 49 years of service the T-37's caused to much problems in the last years.
Last year during a traning flight two pilots died on a crash.One of them was the Pakistani Major Masood Hussain Chhachhar.
This will be our future basic training plane : Turkish Auronotic Industry made HURKUS

Never heard of this development. Where will it fit in PAF training regime

It will fit perfectly with the new acquisitions in mind e.g. Su-35, J-11

[Imran Khan]

Imran bhai time will tell ...
they will be T38 most probably

and why we induct a new plate-farm janab for 3-5 years ? its for me highly impossible . PAF only did like this when they inducted VVIP A-310 from Qatar . let see . BTW i respect your opinion sir jee even i disagree

 

[black-hawk_101]

So how many T-37s & T-38s Turkey has? Will they give all of them to Pakistan for Free?

Also, how many T-37s & T-38s can PAF acquire from current and former operators which are in use or are stored to be sold for spares?

 

[somebozo]

Are these new planes or those retired from TuAF??

 

[Windjammer]

As i said many moons ago in post -35, Turkey is giving T-37s and not T-38s.

 

[IrbiS]

Are these new planes or those retired from TuAF??

Turkey retired 'em about 2-3 years ago, after a fatal crash which also claimed the life of an PAF Instructor with hisTurkish student.

S/N 90384 means built in 1990s? T 37? not sure anyway PAF had in 90s SLEP on T37 to get extra 20 years which were replaced by the current lot
now they r using the ones provided by USAF

ideally replacement by K8 should be option but needs $$$ K8 ar 4-6 million a pop (2000s) now not sure
























20 years and noe they are done as well

T-37 Tweet
