1. Title: "North American Rockwell T-2C Buckeye N27WS - 155239: A Classic Military Trainer in Action (circa 2000)" 2. Description: This photograph showcases the North American Rockwell T-2C Buckeye N27WS - 155239 in its element during a flight training session. The T-2C Buckeye, a twin-engine, propeller-driven advanced trainer aircraft, was primarily used by the United States Navy and Marine Corps between the late 1950s and the 1980s. With its distinctive twin booms and high-wing configuration, this aircraft was an essential part of the U.S. military aviation history. 3. Background: The North American Aviation T-2 Buckeye was designed as a replacement for the T-6 Texan and T-28 Trojan trainers. The T-2C variant, which first flew in 1955, featured improved engines and avionics, making it a more advanced and versatile training platform. The aircraft was used for both basic and advanced flight training, as well as for weapons systems and instrument instruction. 4. Preservation and Continued Use: Although the T-2C Buckeye was retired from U.S. military service in the late 1980s, many examples have been preserved in various museums and private collections around the world. Some have even been converted for civilian use, such as in the fields of aerobatics and skywriting. This photograph captures the spirit of the T-2C Buckeye's rich history and its enduring appeal to aviation enthusiasts. 5. Technical Specifications: The North American Rockwell T-2C Buckeye had a maximum speed of approximately 345 mph (555 km/h) and a range of around 1,100 miles (1,770 km). It was powered by two Wright R-1300-GA-20 Cyclone engines, each producing 1,425 horsepower. The aircraft had a wingspan of 43 feet 11 inches (13.38 meters) and a length of 38 feet 9 inches (11.81 meters).
