This is a list of Link Trainers still in existence.

Australia

At least 22 AN-T-18 trainers survive in Australia, in various states of repair.[1] A number of these are in museums, but the majority are in the custody of the Australian Air Force Cadets, who were given them in the 1950s by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). They were maintained until 1975 by the RAAF, and as a result many are still in relatively good condition, being either fully or partially operational. The number of operational AN-T-18s has been boosted in recent years by the restoration of several machines.
