 Warbird Alley: North American Rockwell T-2 Buckeye
Built with student pilots in mind, the Buckeye, as it was called, had a strong, wide-based tricycle landing gear, powered controls, large trailing-edge flaps, air brakes on both sides of the fuselage, and a retractable arrester hook, all of which were hydraulically actuated.
While training more than 11,000 student pilots to fly 18 different models of Navy jet aircraft, the Buckeye established an outstanding record of safety and reliability for many years, but as the machine has aged it has developed some problems, being grounded for safety reasons three times in 1997 alone.
After 41 years of service, the North American T-2 "Buckeye" jet trainer is now being phased out, in favor of the Boeing/BAE T-45A "Goshawk." At least two T-2s have made their way into civilian ownership.

The Tantrum can be a docile aileron trainer to an all out 3Der, while the DS can be a calm plane or quite aerobatic with power and high throws(my friend Dreamer has hovered mine).
None of these mishaps would have done much to my trainer, a mini-telemaster, but to this fragile ship it was enough for me to retire her.
However, while it handles wind great, it is not so great for a small field as it floats like the old Taylorcraft planes with the long wing and no flaps, and the landing speed is a bit higher than planes which have fatter airfoils.

 U. S. Naval Aircraft Designations 1939-45
This biplane primary trainer is often confused with the Army's Stearman PT-13 and PT-17 series of biplane trainers, and the Stearman design also saw service with the Navy with the designation N2S.
These last two were combined with more common type codes to produce designations such as HNS for Helicopter Training built by Sikorsky and LNS for Glider Training built by Schweizer.
Here now, in detail, is a recap of the U.S. Navy's system, showing how all six parts of the designation were assigned and used, along with tables of the various letter codes.

E.g., all helicopters are designated in a single numerical sequence, while "normal" aircraft are designated in separate series according to their basic mission.
According to the instructions, the numbers in each series are to be assigned in strict numerical sequence without reference to manufacturers' model numbers and/or existing numbers in other MDS series.
The first model always receives suffix "A" and subsequent series letters are to be assigned in strict sequence (omitting "I" and "O" to avoid confusion with numerals "1" and "0").
