The T-34 Association was formed in July 1975 so that individuals purchasing then military surplus T-34As had an organization which would provide support for these aircraft. The idea was to share operating and maintenance information to all members. As the popularity of the T-34 Mentor grew over the years so did the T-34 Association. Today there are more than 600 members in the association and many are not aircraft owners.*
