Army T-41B Aircraft Curently in Civilian Colors and Markings

Fri Dec 18, 2015 10:40 am

I enjoy tracking down all the few remaining T-41B aircraft currently flying on the FAA registry here in the US. I recently came across these two N38014 (67-15012) modified with the original 210 HP Army engine removed and N64403 (67-15126) which is still original. Both have been civilianized with civilian interiors and seats.

You can tell which T-41B aircraft have been modified as the Lycoming 180 HP engine requires a chin mounted air filter for the carb and the oil access door is on the right side. Also a spinner is required as part of the STC used by the CAP. The original IO-360 engine is fuel injected.

There are currently 82 T-41B aircraft still on the FAA registry with a dozen or so listed as expired. Several known to be wrecked. Approximately five dozen are still airworthy. Number still original with 210 HP engines is not exact but estimated to be around 12 to 15 based on CAP conversion numbers.

76 listed as R172E serial #s 0001 thru 0255

6 listed as T-41B same serial # range

There are several dozen Air Force T-41C aircraft listed under R172E, serial # range 00257 thru 00432 still registered as USAF
