The aircraft is powered by a Model PT6A-25 turbo-prop engine manufactured by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft of Canada. The primary mission of the T-34C is to provide primary flight training for student pilots attached to the Chief of Naval Air Training. As a secondary mission, approximately 10% of the aircraft provide pilot proficiency and other aircraft support services to AIRLANT, AIRPAC, and NAVAIR "satellite sites" operated throughout CONUS.

Here are a few of the aircraft of the CAF
Vultee BT-13A Valiant Basic Trainer
All pilots, whether they were destined
for fighters or bombers, had to go through the pilot
training process. One of the most important aircraft
for developing new pilot skills was the BT-13 Valiant,
sometimes known as the "Vibrator" ~ not
for what it did to you, but to the windows of buildings
when it flew by.
Harvard Mk IV
The most important advanced pilot
trainer of World War II was the AT-6 Texan. The
aircraft was so good and so popular, that it was
used by many different service branches and many
different countries. Our aircraft was one of those
licensed by Canadian Car and Foundry in Canada where
it was known as the "Harvard"
