. . . were retired. Is this a special flight? I sure hope Bob considers doing his Buckeye sheets in 1/72 scale also, so we'll have something to put on the old Matchbox/new Revell kits.

is a T-2B built in 1968 belonging to a guy in Wyoming. I remember back in 1979 when I went to work for Beech Aerospace Services we still had quite a few T-28C's and Buckeyes around as we brought in the T-34C's.
that owns the FJ-4 that was bellied in a few months back.
He also owns an Albatross and a Mallard and ??????.
(Or at least did own the above the last time I checked)
Wheels UP-Water
Wheels DOWN-Land
DO NOT confuse the two !
They still fly some down at Pensacola. We are sending T-45s to replace many of them but I think they still use the T-2 for spin training. That looks like an old Beeville plane.
Yeah, I hope I have the good opportunity to snag a 1/48 T-2 Buckeye from either TwoBobs or Collect-Aire soon. I suggested a Buckeye in a long list of badly needed kits to Revell. They just smiled, patted me on the head and offered up a rubberband powered wood airplane again. I don't think they took me seriously.....this is not good!
Anyway, very nice shot of the T-2 in flight with the Hornet!
VX-20 operates two former Wing Six (NAS Pensacola) T-2C for use as chase aircraft for the up coming P-8 program.
"The Bobs" are possibly doing decals for these at some point ???
