Cessna T-37B "Tweet" - Jet, OK - Static Aircraft Displays on Waymarking.com

This Cessna T-37B "Tweet" twin-engine training jet is on permanent display at Jet Lions Memorial Park, which is in turn at the southeast corner of Wood Park in Jet, Oklahoma. Bearing tail number 56-3563, the aircraft is part of a veteran's memorial. The park is adjacent to Kegelman Air Force Auxiliary Field, a training base for Vance Air Force Base in Enid, Oklahoma, who donated the aircraft to the town.

Jet, Oklahoma (official population 213) was founded by six brothers with surname Jett, but since incorporation in 1900 the town name has been spelled with one "t." Built on the homesteads established by these brothers, the town moved two miles west in 1906 to be nearer to a new railroad line. The nearby airfield was established just prior to WWII and was named in memory of Oklahoma pilot Col. Charles Clark “Sonny” Kegelman in 1949, who was KIA in 1945.
