1968 North American T-2 BuckeyeJet Aircraft

This 1968 North American T-2 Buckeye (N27WS) presents a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously restored twin-engine jet warbird with only 430 hours total time since its extensive refurbishment by Victoria Air Maintenance in 2003. The comprehensive restoration included complete disassembly, corrosion inspection, NDT testing of structural components, landing gear overhaul, and removal of military avionics. Powered by dual Pratt & Whitney J60-P-6 engines, each with 430 hours since overhaul by Sabreliner under US military contract, this aircraft delivers 2,950 lbs of thrust per engine and features practical maintenance advantages like ground-level engine access and single-point fueling capability.

The aircraft is equipped with modern avionics including a Garmin GTN-650Xi GPS/Nav/Comm, dual King navigation systems, and ADS-B Out capability via a GTX-345R transponder. It retains operational military features such as an arresting hook, AOA indicators, and dual high-pressure oxygen systems while sporting an excellent-condition exterior painted in classic US Navy training colors. Recent maintenance includes a completed condition inspection in April 2024, IFR certifications in March 2024, and new batteries installed in 2021. With its duplicate cockpit controls and instruments, this Buckeye offers authentic jet training capabilities in a well-maintained package.
