in 1968 there was a turbine powered P-51 called the Cavalier Turbo Mustang
III

It was later marketed as the Piper Enforcer

The Cavalier and Enforcer are two entirely different airframes based on the
same general layout. No Cavalier Turbo Mustangs exist today, whilst the two
prototype Enforcers are still in existance.

The Cavalier Turbo-Mustang was delivered to Piper on 4 Nov. 1970 and
the airframe was used by Piper in developing the Enforcer, so there is a
continuity.

USN still uses the Beech Mentor, powered by turbine in T-34C configuration.

Well, let's see. A turbine has been hung on the P-51D & someone
figured a Cessna 182 needed a non-fuel injected *******ized IO-520
hung on it. Beech 18s & DC-3s have been getting it done for years. I
didn't say anything about 'improving perfection'. I do understand the
improved reliability & other benefits of a turbine, tho. IIRC, Taiwan
had a turbo prop trainer that's essentially a T-28 with a Lycoming
T-55 turbo prop on it.
