Awwww... That loudest of loud T-37 Tweet still around ?

Alas, the USAF retired the last of the T-37's in 2009. We almost replaced the T-37 with the T-46:

But kept the T-37 instead until the it was replaced in the 2000's by this plane, the Beechcraft T-6 Texan II:

Originally the T-37 was the transition aircraft from prop to jet, then on to the supersonic T-38.

So why would they replace the jet T-37 with a prop T-6?

Do they now go from the T-6 straight to the T-38?
