I saw that you are located near Vegas maybe..? We are planning a big VT-23 Reunion in Vegas for March of this year. There will be a big contingent of ex-mechanics, PC's, pilot's, etc. all descending on Vegas to hang out & talk about the old squadron, what's going on in our lives now and generally celebrating life in general. We all sure loved that airplane! We worked our tails off making sure they flew thousands of sorties for every class of pilots that came through that squadron & did it SAFELY and managed to have a blast while we were doing it. Many of us have managed to stay in contact with each other & try to get together when possible. This year will be our biggest reunion yet. Just thought I would drop a line and let you know that the spirit of the Buckeye (or the Guppy-as we called it) lives on in the Pilots & the Mechanics who maintained & flew them! Thanks for sharing this pic! Sharon Ash-Womack Just dropped by here as I was looking up some images for the T-2. I saw that you are located near Vegas maybe..?

There is a problem now with getting parts for the only MEPP we have. Would you have any parts or know of any power carts with the " jet pack "? Yep! We had the canopy blow-out! Nice Bird!

When you flew her was that at Meridian? Any pictures, no matter the quality, will do. I am writing a short storey on the T2. Dave,
