airmalik those are Dragon Flys, T-37 built by Cessna as a light trainer flown by VNAF in Nam.... side by side seating , had one land in Phu Bai when I was there and walked around it counting the number of holes in the tail section ( over 40) the VNAF pilots had nearly run out of fuel , they refuled and took off .... holes and all . So one cannot believe anything you have to say if you cannot do your home work any better than that ....
They made great ground support AC with straight wings could run tree top level 100 mph slower than conventional jets. mini guns in the nose and rockets and could loiter longer .... hence the one landing at Phu Bai was shot to swiss cheese ... those guys were tryin really hard to support their ground troops whose basic training graduation was not on some manicured parade field but a hump in the bush for real ..... if you look on the tail at the yellow and red stripes .... yep VN combat braggin rights... these two earned em flying in Nam....

Happy Trails
