It was derived from the civilian Lockheed JetStar business jet and was the first jet trainer to enter service with the USAF. The T-1A was designed to train pilots for high-performance and multi-engine aircraft, such as the B-52 Stratofortress and the C-141 Starlifter. The T-1A had a four-seat cockpit with dual controls and ejection seats, a swept-wing design, and four turbojet engines mounted in pods under the wings.
Den T-1A could reach a maximum speed of 529 mph (851 km/h) and had a range of 2,500 miles (4,023 km). The T-1A was also equipped with a radar, an inertial navigation system, and a flight simulator. The T-1A was retired from the USAF in 1993 and replaced by the Raytheon T-1 Jayhawk, a modified version of the Beechjet 400A business jet. Some of the T-1A aircraft were sold to civilian operators or donated to museums and educational institutions.
