Here is the story of how I soloed in the T-37
[Interesting story snipped]

How many hours did you have when your instructor felt you were ready
to solo the Tweet?

What are your opinions regarding the T-37 as a personal aircraft?
================================================== ========

I think I had about 15 - 20 hours in the T-37 when I soloed. I think it would be an excellent personal plane if you can afford the fuel and maintenance. It does not have a lot of range, but it is excellent for aerobatics.
