The T-45 Goshawk is a highly modified version of the BAE Hawk land-based training jet aircraft. Manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) and British Aerospace (now BAE Systems), the T-45 is used by the United States Navy as an aircraft carrier-capable trainer.
The T-45's A and C models are currently in operational use. The T-45A, which became operational in 1991, contains an analog cockpit design while the newer T-45C, which was first delivered in December 1997, features a new digital "glass cockpit" design. All T-45A aircraft will eventually be converted to a T-45C configuration under the T-45 Required Avionics Modernization Program (T-45 RAMP).
T-45A
Two-seat basic and advanced jet trainer for the US Navy.
T-45B
Proposed land-based version for the US Navy, which would have been basically a conventional Hawk with a USN cockpit and no carrier capability. The USN had wanted the T-45B to get an earlier training capability, but abandoned the idea in 1984 in favor of less-costly updates to the TA-4 and T-2.
T-45C
Improved T-45A with glass cockpit, inertial navigation, and other improvements. Existing T-45As are being upgraded to the T-45C standard.

A little later - notice that all of the other canopies are now open (they wanted to make sure that they only had one problem child).
They borrowed a ladder off of the ramp fuel truck (on the left) and have talked to a Maintenance Sgt back at the base to get suggestions for dealing w/ the problem. It looks like if you take a screwdriver or a metal shim to the front edge of the canopy - it will release the lock and allow the canopy to open.

Two-seat basic and advanced jet trainer for the US Navy.
T-45B
Proposed land-based version for the US Navy, which would have been basically a conventional Hawk with a USN cockpit and no carrier capability. The USN had wanted the T-45B to get an earlier training capability, but abandoned the idea in 1984 in favor of less-costly updates to the TA-4 and T-2.
T-45C
Improved T-45A with glass cockpit, inertial navigation, and other improvements. Existing T-45As are being upgraded to the T-45C standard.
Climbing out. This one is still in the older paint scheme.

The T-45 Goshawk is a highly modified version of the BAE Hawk land-based training jet aircraft. Manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) and British Aerospace (now BAE Systems), the T-45 is used by the United States Navy as an aircraft carrier-capable trainer.
The T-45's A and C models are currently in operational use. The T-45A, which became operational in 1991, contains an analog cockpit design while the newer T-45C, which was first delivered in December 1997, features a new digital "glass cockpit" design. All T-45A aircraft will eventually be converted to a T-45C configuration under the T-45 Required Avionics Modernization Program (T-45 RAMP).

I joined the Gilbert Photographers Meetup Group and met some very friendly local photographers at the Mesa Community College (MCC) Rose Garden. This huge garden has over 9,000 plants. An ample number were in full bloom. It was a great day for shooting except for some sporadic light winds that caused blurs. MCC Rose Lovers maintain the largest public rose garden in the desert southwest. The rose is our national flower which was officially adopted on November 20, 1986. The largest rose garden in the United States is the 14-acre Municipal Rose Garden in Tyler, Texas; it grows over 450 rose varieties and 30,000 plants.
