EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the McDonnell Douglas T-45A Goshawk, specifically aircraft number 163646 (MSN A048), which was a part of Tactical Training Wing 2 (TW-2) based at Naval Air Station (NAS) Kingsville, Texas, during the early 21st century. The United States Navy (USN) operated this twin-engine, two-seat, supersonic jet trainer for advanced jet training of its naval aviators. The T-45A Goshawk, with its distinctive angled delta wing design, was a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the T-2 Buckeye. The T-45A provided a more realistic and challenging training environment, preparing USN pilots for the rigors of carrier-based flight operations. The aircraft's advanced avionics, including a glass cockpit, provided students with essential skills necessary to fly modern combat aircraft. In this image, the T-45A, bearing call sign "246," sits proudly on the tarmac at NAS Kingsville. The aircraft's sleek design, combined with the vibrant Texas sun, creates an awe-inspiring sight. The T-45A's powerful engines are visible, ready to propel the aircraft into the sky for another training mission. The photograph captures the essence of the USN's aviation heritage and the dedication of its pilots, who continue to protect and defend our nation through their service and expertise. This photograph is part of The Tony Lovelock Collection, which showcases a wealth of aviation history and highlights the beauty and complexity of various aircraft types. The collection is available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a unique and captivating glimpse into the world of flight and transportation.
