January 4: A T-34C Turbo Mentor with the US Navy’s Training Squadron (VT) 4 has been repainted in training colours as worn during the Second World War for the Centennial of Naval Aviation celebrations.
More than 20 aircraft in the fleet will receive Second World War markings this year.
110113-N-8891L-002 WHITING FIELD, Fla. (Jan. 13, 2011)
A unique T-34 "Turbo Mentor" passes in front of several other T-34s painted in the current orange and white colors.
The aircraft's grey and yellow paint scheme, with Marine markings, are a part of the Centennial of Naval Aviation's 2011 celebration.
At least one aircraft of each type in the Navy inventory will be painted to replicate a design from aviation history.
This version dates back to the 1930s, and is the fourth historically painted aircraft received by Naval Air Station Whiting Field. (U.S. Navy photo by 2nd Lt. Molly LeBlanc/Released)
