T-2 Buckeye
T-2C Buckeye jet trainer aircraft was produced for the US Navy by North American Aviation [purchased by Rockwell, which was purchased by Boeing] at Columbus. T-2C trainers were used by the Naval Air Training Command to conduct basic jet flight 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. Buckeyes also were purchased by Venezuela (T-2D) and Greece (T-2E).

The two-place, high-performance T-2C Buckeye was used for a wide variety of pilot training, from the student's first jet flight to fully qualified flight. The aircraft 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.

The T-2 has been grounded three times in 1997 due to safety problems. Over the next few years the T-45 Goshawk will replace the T-2 Buckeye in the Intermediate Jet Pilot Training Program.

美國海軍老式T-2"橡樹"教練機退役

時間： 2004-03-11  

美國海軍老式T-2"橡樹"教練機在服役40多年後即將退役。自上世紀 60年代初，T-2就已成為首架海軍和海軍陸戰隊飛行學員練習用的噴氣式飛機。但其將與第1訓練大隊預備隊第9加強中隊進行最後一次特遣訓練之後退役。

T-2從上世紀60年代開始作為單引擎教練機，但後來迅速改裝成雙引擎噴氣式飛機，在其服役期內經歷了兩次大的改進。目前飛行學員使用的機型為T-2C，約從70年代開始使用。海軍逐漸淘汰T-2有利於更加先進的T-4"蒼鷹"教練機投入使用。T-4的特點是數字讀出和更高端的航空電子技術，而T-2依賴於其飛行儀器的尺規和刻度盤。T-2已完成了飛行學員從基本的螺旋槳推進飛機到噴氣式飛機的轉變。
