An adversary Buckeye, quite rare! Fighting Squadron (VF) 43 "Challengers" used a few Buckeye's for instrument proficiency training as well as spin training. This aircraft did not carried to usual "AD" tailcode of the adversary squadron. The T-2C was seen with VF-43 from the mid-eighties up to September 1993 when it was moved to AMARC with inventory code 2T0226. It was stored in the desert up to 18 October 2011, when the aircraft was scrapped by HVF West Tucson (AZ).
