Desktop Wallpaper - "T-2C - Buckeyes" jet trainer.
A student pilot assigned to the “Tigers” of Training Squadron Nine
(VT-9), with Maj. Tim Harp (USMCR), an instructor with VT-9,
demonstrate formation flying in a T-2C “Buckeyes” during a formation
training mission over Key West, Fla. VT-9 came to Key West to teach
Navy and Marine Corps student pilots formation flying and gunnery
techniques. The instructors are part of Squadron Augment Unit Nine
(SAU-9), the Reserve component for Training Squadron Nine (VT-9), one
of two training squadrons that operate from Naval Air Station
Meridian, Miss., under Training Wing One (TW-1).
Description: The T-2C Buckeye is a tandem-seat, carrier-capable,
all-purpose jet trainer.
Mission: Train Navy and Marine Corps pilots and Naval Flight Officers.
Features: The T-2C is used for intermediate and advanced training for
Navy and Marine Corps pilots and Naval Flight Officers in training for
jet carrier aviation and tactical strike missions. Designed in the mid
1950s to use proven technologies wherever possible, it shares its wing
with the FJ-1 Fury, one of the Navy's earliest jet fighters. The
tandem cockpit arrangement and slightly elevated rear cockpit gives
the instructor good forward visibility over the student. Both cockpits
are equipped with zero-level ejection seats. For armament training,
the aircraft is equipped with underwing strong points to carry bombs,
rockets or gun pods, as well as an arresting hook for carrier
landings. Originally designed with a single engine, the T-2C variant,
which entered fleet service in 1968, has two. Most T-2Cs have been
replaced by the T-45 Goshawk. Some, however, remain in service around
the fleet in various roles, as well as at the Naval Test Pilots School
at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland.
Complete installation instructions are provided.
