Firefly Fleet to Be Scrapped

Filed in archive Aviation News by Beverly Durfee on November 02, 2006

According the Air Force Magazine, the monthly journal of the Air Force Association, the entire fleet of the ill-fated 110 T-3A firefly links

training aircraft will be scrapped. The fleet has been in storage since being grounded after a number of fatal crashes involving midair engine stalling.

Three Academy cadets and three instructors were killed in Firefly crashes. The Air Force bought the Fireflys for $32 million and spent $10 million trying to restructure them to make them airworthy.
