The last T-37 at Columbus AFB has retired. In the interest of full disclosure, I attended pilot training at Columbus AFB from July of 1988 until July 1989. Additionally, I was a T-37 instructor pilot at Vance AFB from September 1995 until May 1999. The Tweet was a workhorse, the equivalent of a MG midget (Compared to the Porche that is the T38 Talon) and a joy to fly, I will miss it.
UPDATE: Here. When they talk about turbine lag, think of this. Get in your car, mash the gas, count "1-potato, 2-potato, 3-potato..." at 7 the engine begins to whine, and as late as 15 you actually begin to feel movement.
