J85 engines instead of J69s. Tip tanks and drop tanks. Some had AAR probes. Some had buil-in nose guns (I think).
I know a guy who flew them in ‘Nam. I can ask. If he has one, doubt he’d give it away...but he might make a copy.

BTW, I have a UPT classmate that went to Vipers... and on his second assignment, went to Howard to fly the Super Tweet. Operation Just Cause kicked off after he got there, and he got a bunch of combat sorties in the A-37. I thought that was pretty cool!
And yeah, there are more differences between the T-37 and A-37 than there are similarities, it seems.

A copy is better than nothing! Let me know what he says. I'll consider buying his original depending on the price and condition.

I’ll check with my bud. Awesome guy: flew AC-47s in SEA out of UPT, then the A-37, then the RF-4....did a stint as Advisor in Dominican Republic in the early 80s; got six hops in the F-86F! Flew Weasels with me, then did a career at World...topped it off with the BD-5J!!
I’ll let you know.

Here is a source for the entire flight manual:

Think the cost is $10. Don't know anything about the company offering it for sale.
