The T-34 Association was founded in July 1975. Originally, this organization was created to provide support to individuals acquiring surplus T-34A military aircraft, with the initial goal of sharing information regarding the operation and maintenance of these aircraft among all members.

Over the years, as the T-34 Mentor grew in popularity, the association expanded its activities and now has more than 600 members, including both aircraft owners and enthusiasts who do not own one. The organization is dedicated to the preservation, resource sharing, and technical support of this iconic aircraft.
