Historical information about the T-2 Buckeye

It was produced to meet the training needs of American Navy pilots (US Navy) as well as air force pilots from selected allied countries. The T-2 Buckeye served primarily during the Cold War era and was intensively used from the 1960s until the mid-2000s. The Buckeye variant was the foundation for jet training, used in both basic and advanced pilot courses in the USA and Greece (where the aircraft were operated until 2015).
