Alternate Purposes
Jet trainers are often adapted to other purposes, and many dedicated jet trainers are designed with non-training features from the design stage. For instance, the Cessna T-37 was developed into the A-37 Dragonfly, while the P-80 Shooting Star jet fighter was adapted to become the T-33 Shooting Star jet trainer. Naval jet trainers can also be adapted from existing designs, for example the T-45 Goshawk is a fully carrier-capable version of the Hawk Mk.60.

Famous quotes containing the words alternate and/or purposes:
“I alternate treading water
and deadman’s float.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
—Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
