That bird is an ex-RCAF airframe. The oval exhaust port just forward of the tail (left side) is one of the big indicators, as well as the one-piece windscreen. We never should have retired them, it cost 10x to get contractors to do the combat support missions. T-birds were relatively cheap.
There was one in the park in Nocona TX when I was a kid. The canopy was missing and there were stairs so kids could play in it. It was one of the biggest inspirations for my interest in aviation. It would be a dream come true to go up in one.
It was the koolest thing I ever did. I was a smart ass and ask don't you teach dog fighting? I filled up 3 barf bags .lol base record they teased. I keep saying I am OK keep going. I swear I was taller.lol very kool story. Thank you. Fly safe AK907 salute 🙏

Just a gorgeous aircraft! The reporter brought life to the vid. Loved her reaction and enthusiasm.

I got to fly in a T 33 at Ellison Airforce base Alaska. CAP was a memorable day ❤
Isn't it the BEST. FEELING. EVER?!

The F-80 single seat version was nicknamed “ Shooting Star”. The T-33 trainer version nickname was “ T-Bird”.
P-80 was the shooting star bud.
Roxette, you are so lucky. I am happy you enjoyed that flight👏👏👏😍
It's a bit strange, but the older I get, the more these machines fascinate me.
เอาแน่ ที-33 จอดอยู่สนามบินหาดใหญ่ตั้งหลายลำ เามาโมใหม่ให้เด็กๆมันหัดบินแถมโลงด้วย
Pasaron muchos años , pero jamás veré al Lockheed T-33 como un avion viejo .
Mis mayor respeto y administración por este legendario avion !!!
Does this restored version have the j33 engine?

My dad ejected from this bird in 1955 over Arizona and survived a back spin with no recovery. Glad he did.
Great old bird, but the damn thing burns 350 gallons of Jet A per hour😀
