PATUXENT RIVER, Maryland (Sept. 25, 2015) The U.S. Navy's last T-2C Buckeye returns from its final flight, capping 56 years of the aircraft type's service to the fleet. Although T-2s were officially retired from Navy service in 2008 with a "sundown" ceremony, Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 20 at Naval Air Station Patuxent River continued to use three Buckeyes as safety chase aircraft during test and evaluation flights of the E-2D Hawkeye, P-8A Poseidon and MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft system.
