A T‑34B Mentor in classic U.S. training colours taxis for departure, representing the post‑Korean War primary trainer used by both the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Introduced in the mid‑1950s, the Mentor replaced the AT‑6 Texan in naval flight training and provided generations of Navy and Marine student aviators with their first experience of military flying. Many examples, like this one, continue to fly in civilian and warbird service
