At least 22 AN-T-18 trainers survive in Australia, in various states of repair. 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. 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.
