Geocache Description:


This cache is part of an occasional series of caches scattered in the ONF featuring some historic U.S. Navy aircraft. The cache is located on FR22.

The sixteenth featured aircraft in this series is the Beechcraft T-34 Mentor. Per Wikipedia, the Beechcraft T-34 Mentor is a propeller-driven, single-engine, military trainer aircraft derived from the Beechcraft Model 35 Bonanza. The earlier versions of the T-34, dating from around the late 1940s to the 1950s, were piston-engined. These were eventually succeeded by the upgraded T-34C Turbo-Mentor, powered by a turboprop engine. In 1955 Beechcraft developed a jet-engined derivative, the Model 73 Jet Mentor. The Model 73 was not put into production, and the sole prototype is on display in Kansas. Although the T-34 is no longer used as a primary U.S. Navy training aircraft, several T34C aircraft are used elsewhere. The T-34 remains in service more than seven decades after it was first designed.

A very short bushwhack is required. Remember, this is the forest, so watch for things that might bite, sting, scratch, cut, poke or trip you, and watch for hunters too.
