The Boeing T-43 is a retired modified Boeing 737-200 that the United States Air Force used to train navigators, later called combat systems officers, from 1973 to 2010. Informally called the Gator, from navigator, and the Flying Classroom, nineteen were delivered to Air Training Command at Mather Air Force Base in California during 1973 and 1974, and two more went to the Colorado Air National Guard to support cadet navigation training at the Air Force Academy. Two T-43s were later converted to CT-43A executive transports in the early 1990s. The T-43A had far more training capability than the reciprocating-engine T-29 Flying Classroom it replaced, and the last navigational training flight was flown on 17 September 2010, after 37 years of service.
