The Boeing T-43 is a modified Boeing 737-200 used by the US Air Force. Delivered during 1973 and 1974, the primary mission of the T-43 is as a flying classroom for Navigator training. It has stations onboard for twelve navigator students, six instructors, as well as pilot and co-pilot.

Externally the T-43 differs from the civilian aircraft by having more antennas, fewer windows and five periscope sextant stations for celestial navigation. Other navigation systems fitted include mapping radar, TACAN, inertial navigation, a radar altimeter and others.
