During the time of production the Navy designation was SNJ-2. Just
like you see painted on the fuselage. (I have a few hours in one of
these; however, it was after the designation change so it is recorded
in my log book as a TC-45.)

Yep! My hours came at NAS Norfolk during 1962-64, while attached to
FAETULANT. (Fleet Airborne Electronics Training Unit-Atlantic). We
junior aviator types normally flew our 8 hours per month proficiency
time in T-28s and S-2s, but our CO was more comfortable in the TC-45J.
He would naturally drag one of us along with him to split the flight
time.....or keep him alive. :-)
