The T-2C Buckeye is a twin engine high performance jet trainer aircraft designed to teach new U.S. Navy pilots how to fly the combat aircraft they will eventually graduate to.  Over 500 Buckeyes were delivered primarily to the United States Navy but also to the Venezuelan and Greek Air Forces.  All the pilots who flew in the TOP GUN MOVIE trained in a Buckeye before graduating to the F-14 Tomcat.

In the year 1974 the Singer Company delivered 12 of these T-2C Buckeye Synthetic Flight Trainers cockpits to the United States Navy to educate military Naval Aviators on how to safely operate the new twin engine jet aircraft.  This specific simulator was operated out of Meridian Naval Air Station for over 20 years before it was retired.
