1. Title: "Wings of the Past: The United States Navy's Rockwell T-2C Buckeye 158898 on Display at the USS Lexington Museum on The Bay, Corpus Christi, Texas" 2. Caption: The United States Navy's Rockwell T-2C Buckeye 158898, with manufacturing serial number 352-23, is a proud addition to the USS Lexington Museum on The Bay in Corpus Christi, Texas. This historic aircraft, which dates back to circa 2010, is a testament to the rich aviation history of the United States Navy. The T-2C Buckeye is a twin-engine, supersonic, carrier-capable trainer aircraft, designed and manufactured by Rockwell International. It was introduced in 1955 and served as the Navy's primary carrier-based trainer for over four decades. The Buckeye was renowned for its advanced features, including its side-by-side seating arrangement, advanced avionics, and high-performance capabilities. Retired from active service in 1997, this particular Buckeye, with its distinctive blue and gray paint scheme, was preserved and donated to the USS Lexington Museum on The Bay. The museum, which is dedicated to preserving the history of naval aviation, is an ideal home for this iconic aircraft. Visitors to the museum can get up close and personal with the T-2C Buckeye, gaining a unique insight into the history and technology of this remarkable aircraft. The Buckeye's presence at the museum serves as a reminder of the important role that naval aviation has played in protecting and defending the United States and its allies. The T-2C Buckeye's legacy continues to inspire and educate generations of aviation enthusiasts and Navy personnel. As a symbol of the past, present, and future of naval aviation, the Buckeye remains an enduring reminder of the courage, innovation, and dedication of those who have served in the United States Navy.
