Built in response to a U.S. Navy requirement for a jet trainer, the
prototype T-2 (then designated the T2J) first flew in
1958. The Buckeye served in U.S. Navy and Marine Corp
training squadrons as well as the Venezuelan and Hellenic Air Forces.
The Buckeye was scheduled to be phased out by the McDonnell Douglas
T-45 Hawk in 1987, but as of 1999 a few are still in service. Over
600 were built.
