American Jet Industries T-76A

[VictorXL188]

Hi, I'm hoping that someone out there may be able to help me. I was flicking through the September 1978 issue of Air International, and I came across a reference to a proposed new PT-6A engine trainer, the American Jet Industries T-76A. I have tried a search for the type in these illustrious pages to no avail. Has anybody got any info on this? In case anyone thinks I am having some kind of hallucination, I attach a copy of the text!

Seems like I remember something like that based on their Hustler.

Interesting - the offspring of T-6B meets PC-21...

Thanks - Mark

Interesting to see Allen Paulson's interest in developing military aircraft (i.e. the Peregrine 600 and T-76B) at the early formation of what would become Gulfstream, which of course is primarily a corporate aircraft manufacturer, until its more recent history of Special Mission Gulfstream modifications.

Thanks Hesham, I think we might have a winner!!

The AJI jet trainer proposal looked like most of a Hustler airframe with the turboprop removed. The cockpit was redesigned to semi-bubble more like T-37 Tweety Bird or Canadair Tutor.
