Lonestar155
is good to go
But I will call the guys down at my flying club tomarrow and confirm if it departed from there. I know 2500 ft. is way too short for a T-45, but I swear it left from there.

T-45 sighting

I can't remember how far from the approach end it is, but it ain't far ...
I had an Instructor (while trying to impress me returning from Gun-1) land from the back seat on RW 25L @ Sherman Field and make the turn off on A-5.
That's .... in front of the E-28 bi-directional gear.
He did it (no hook, as depicted) ... and blew the left main mount tire.
Now, THAT really impressed me ...

I was going to make a smartass comment, but it's just too easy...
As for "Mustang Beach," that link says the runway is about the size of Silverhill's actual landing area (3400'). Pul-lenty of room. You can get a T-34 stopped in 1000' easy.
That was my point. On the approaches into NGP flying over the Lex I often wondered if you could land a T-34 on it and stop. Probably could.
Now we need 6000' or get commodore approval.
Rog...Just covering your back.
Land a T-34 on the LEX with 25 knots over the deck ???
Probably. With the LEX as a static display ??? I wouldn't .... Slight "Sea-Story":
I launched twice in the C-1 COD right seat to the beach --- deck run 'a la WW2 --- no catapults .... just get 25-30 knots down the angle, full power at the ramp, release the breaks and go --- and change your (my) flight suit when we get to the beach.
..... LAUNCH 'EM !!!
(*edit* .. hey, how 'bout that?? --- pix #3
is the actual bird/actual deck ... now who could know??? )
Some guys with too much time on their hands even ran the NATOPS numbers for the A-6 ... clean wing with @ 9000# of gas ... 30 knots across the deck ... deck run her from the stern and use the whole deck ... the book said you could "make" it with @ 200' to spare.

That's how we do all of ours, except the flight suit part (normally).

Plus that whole nozzle rotation line..
I knew the MiniBoss on Iwo (old OIC), When he was describing your t/o, he said it was "freaky" at first to watch.
Have been approved for a "Deck Run" on the Iwo by the boss (old CO) but that was done from a low hover instead of a true running takeoff..

T-45 just landed at Paine Field here in Everett. I was in the pattern with it. I landed, parked and went to the terminal where it was parked. Got escorted to it and got to take some pictures. . Was out of Mississippi.
EDIT: Pics were taken with a cell phone camera, pretty good when considering that. Anyone know what that heavy Boeing is called? I forgot the name.

Saw one at Williams Gateway this morning around 9:00 local. Must be nice.
Well hell. Since this has turned into a reporting of T-45 sightings, I saw one take off from Mayport 2 weeks ago. Maybe we should keep a log.:icon_smil
