Development
The KM-2B was a further development of the Fuji KM-2 (itself a four-seat development of the T-34 Mentor with a more powerful engine) for use as a primary trainer for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF). It combined the structure and engine of the KM-2 with the tandem cockpit of the T-34 Mentor. Its first flight was on 17 January 1978.[1] Fifty were purchased by the JASDF as the Fuji T-3, and production continued until 1982.[2]
Operational history
The Fuji T-3 served with the 11 and 12 Hiko-Kyoikudan of the JASDF. The T-3 was retired in 2007 and replaced by the Fuji T-7, a turboprop variant of the T-3, with a Template:Convert Allison 250 engine.[3][4]
