A-37 was a cheap and efficient airplane to counter the growing guerrilla
activities. It is also used by special forces operations. The A-37 was
used intensively during the Vietnam War. It was easily to fly because
American pilots were already trained on the T-37.
577 aircraft have been manufactured for the US Air Force, Guatemala, Columbia,
Dominican Republic Uruguay and other countries. In 1992 the A-37 was withdrawn
from US service. The A-37 is still used by countries like Guatemala and
