Tthe 북미 T-2 벅아이 was a jet trainer aircraft designed and built by North American Aviation for the United States Navy in the late 1950s. It served as the intermediate training aircraft for student naval aviators and naval flight officers, who learned the basics of jet flying and carrier operations on the T-2 Buckeye. The T-2 Buckeye had a mid-wing monoplane configuration, with a tandem cockpit and two turbojet engines. It could also carry various weapons for training purposes, such as gun pods, rockets, and practice bombs.
The T-2 Buckeye had several variants, each with different engines and performance characteristics. The first version, the T-2A, flew in 1958 and was powered by a single Westinghouse J34 turbojet. The T-2B, introduced in 1965, had two Pratt & Whitney J60 turbojets, which increased its speed and thrust. The T-2C, which first flew in 1968, had two General Electric J85 turbojets, which improved its fuel efficiency and reliability. The T-2D and T-2E were export versions for the Venezuelan Air Force and the Hellenic Air Force, respectively.
