The T-2 Buckeye was a US Navy jet trainer aircraft produced by North American (later Rockwell). T-2 trainers were used by the Naval Air Training Command to conduct advanced combat training for future Navy and Marine Corps aviators. The trainer established an outstanding record of safety and reliability while providing training for more than 11,000 students to pilot 18 different models of Navy jet aircraft.
The Buckeye was used for teaching a wide range of skills, including high-altitude, high-speed formation and aerobatic flights, basic and radio instruments, night and day navigation, and gunnery, bombing, and carrier operations. It was capable of carrying a wide variety of training weapons packages (bombs, rockets and gun pods) on two wing mounts. An armament package was available that upgraded the T-2 to a six-mount status via an armament accessory kit that made the aircraft an effective light attack aircraft.
The first version of the T-2 was designated T-2J-1-S, later redesignated the T-2A. It was a single engine aircraft powered by a Westinghouse J34-WE-48 with 3,400 pounds of thrust. The following versions (T-2B and T-2C) would use two engines.
Two export versions of the T-2 were created that were purchased by Venezuela (T-2D) and Greece (T-2E). In these aircraft the armament package was permanently mounted so they could be used dually as a trainer and as a light attack aircraft.
