Re: North American T-2 Buckeye
All T-2 Buckeyes were manufactured by North American at Air Force Plant 85, located just south of Port Columbus Airport in Columbus, Ohio. 273 aircraft were built during its production run.
The name Buckeye refers to the state tree of Ohio, as well as the mascot of the Ohio State University.

Re: North American T-2 Buckeye
Every jet-qualified Naval Aviator and virtually every Naval Flight Officer from the late 1950s until 2004 received training in the T-2 Buckeye, a career spanning four decades.
In the Naval Aviator strike pipeline syllabus and the Naval Flight Officer strike and strike fighter piepline syllabi, the T-2 has been replaced by the near-sonic T-45 Goshawk (the US Navy version of the BAE Hawk), which is more comparable to other high performance subsonic trainers, or the supersonic USAF T-38 Talon.
More recently, the T-2 has been used as a director aircraft for aerial drones. Several T-2 Buckeyes are now registered in civilian markings and regularly appear at airshows.
