Those terrible static shots.... but the subject is nice enough. An adversary Buckeye of Fighting Squadron (VF) 43 "Challengers". This Buckeye was transferred to AMARC after its operational career. The aircraft received inventory code 2T0227 on 21 September 1993. It remained in storage until September 1995. It was then sold to Greece for use as spare parts of the Hellenic Air Force 120 PEA T-2 fleet at Kalamata air base. But, it was good enough and the aircraft was overhauled by HAI Tanagra. It was assigned to 120 PEA as 158904/904 and flew operational up to at last late 2019. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
