The first version of the single-engine T-2 Buckeye entered service with the Navy in 1959 as the T2J-1. It was later re-designated the T-2A under the joint aircraft designation system in 1962. The aircraft was further redesigned and the single engine was replaced with two Pratt & Whitney J60-P-6 turbojet engines in the T-2B. Later, the T-2C was fitted with two General Electric J85-GE-4 turbojet engines.
Every jet-qualified Naval Aviator and virtually every Naval Flight Officer from the 1959 until 2004 received training in the T-2 Buckeye, a length of service that spanned more than four decades. The aircraft first exited the Naval Aviator strike pipeline in 2004, and exited the Naval Flight Officer tactical jet pipeline in 2008.
