In its infinite wisdom, the US gummint does not sell operable aircraft of any type to any civilian.

The only source is to find a foreign gummint that bought them, and then buy from them. There are several other countries that have or are planning to buy a few of the surplus T-37s. But we'd have to wait until they wore them out before they sell those - so the poor Tweets would be pretty hammered by then.

Besides, one of the reasons they are being retired is that they are gas hogs. I doubt many people could afford to fly them when they burn 300 gallons an hour - at $5+ a gallon.
