*** This aircraft was originally owned by the US Army from 1966 to 1973 when it was sold to civilians with ~2,200 hrs.   It's recognized as a T-41B as it was owned by the Army.  If it was owned by the Air Force it would be a "C" because it also had an IO-360 engine. 

** The manufactured date is unclear and could have been manufactured in the early 1960's because it has:  fastback, no rear window, swept tail, and the extended dorsal fin. 

*The FAA has this listed as a Cessna R172E with no Manufactured Year.
