EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph showcases the United States Navy's Rockwell T-2C Buckeye trainer aircraft, specifically identification number 158607 (msn 346-33) of VT-23. The image, taken around the turn of the millennium, presents the Buckeye in pristine condition as it soars through the clear blue sky. The T-2C Buckeye is a twin-engine, turboprop aircraft, designed and manufactured by the Rockwell International Corporation for the United States Navy and Marine Corps as a carrier-capable advanced jet trainer. The Buckeye was an essential part of the Navy's training fleet, providing students with valuable experience in carrier operations, instrument flying, and night flying. In this photograph, the Buckeye's distinctive twin-boom configuration and swept wings are on full display, as are its vibrant markings, which identify it as a part of VT-23, a training squadron based at Naval Air Station Oceania. The aircraft's engines, shrouded in a thin veil of condensation, add an extra layer of visual interest to the image. The T-2C Buckeye's impressive capabilities and versatility made it an indispensable asset to the United States Navy for over four decades, from its first flight in 1955 to its retirement in 2001. This photograph is a testament to the Buckeye's enduring legacy and the remarkable skill of the pilots who flew it." The Tony Lovelock Collection, from Mary Evans Prints Online, is an invaluable resource for aviation enthusiasts and historians, offering a wealth of rare and fascinating images that capture the history and evolution of flight. This particular photograph, with its stunning composition and intriguing subject matter, is a standout addition to the collection.
