This 1953 Beechcraft T34A Mentor (N234TU) presents as a well-maintained military trainer with modern upgrades, showing 7,890 total hours on the airframe and 996 hours since major engine overhaul. The aircraft recently received a fresh annual inspection and features notable modifications including nosewheel steering, nose wheel gear doors, and a completed spar mod. Its 2009 vintage military-style tandem interior retains shoulder harnesses and lap belts, while the exterior sports a vibrant yellow paint scheme with Navy decals and stars and bars from the same refurbishment period.

Equipped for IFR operations, the panel includes a Garmin suite featuring a GNC 250XL GPS/COM, GTX 335 transponder with ADS-B Out, and a panel-mounted Garmin 660 GPS, complemented by a G5 electronic flight instrument. The avionics package also includes a King KMA 24 audio panel with marker beacon and a King 155 NAV/COM with glide slope. With its recent mechanical updates and fresh inspection status, this Mentor combines vintage military appeal with contemporary utility as a distinctive flyer.
