Tweet closes 42-year Randolph career
After 42 years of serving as the primary pilot instructor training aircraft at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas, the T-37 Tweet turned its reigns over to the T-6 Texan II in a special ceremony Apr. 6 at 3:59 p.m. on the west ramp behind Hangar 64.
Highlights of the ceremony included remarks from guest speaker retired Col. Robert Hermanson, 559th FTS commander from July 1974 to July 1976; a flyby of a T-37 and T-6 symbolizing the past and future of the primary PIT mission; and a special presentation of a heritage board with a drawing of the T-37 and signatures of various instructors, maintainers, life support and SARM personnel from throughout the Tweet's Randolph career.
