While stationed at Elmendorf AFB, AK from 1974-1978, there were two T-33 aircraft on the flightline. Both were used in training with the F-4Cs assigned there. They flew as oppositional (enemy) aircraft during training missions. They had a very good record flying against the faster F-4. They often flew with chaff pods for use in jamming radar signals. They were not armed. In 1976, one of the aircraft was painted up for duty during fourth of July celebrations, noting the bicentennial. I no longer have the pictures of that aircraft. It looked stunning in the red-white-and blue paint scheme. I worked as an enlisted communications specialist. There were very few problems with this AC. Both the flyers and the ground personnel liked this AC. It's great to see it flying at this air show. Thanks. Brings back very pleasant memories.
Beautiful jet ! The Vermont ANG used to have T-33's when I was a kid. I could watch them flying and even go look at them at the ANG base (it was nearby). I just wish I might have wrangled a ride in one somehow. Anyway, it's nice to see that at least one is still flying ! Good video. Thanks !
I am from VT. My mother described the planes she remembered as a kid flying out of Burlington, and I determined that they were T-33s just from the way she described them. She also described seeing jets that I can only assume were F-102s flying overhead very low when she was young.
@@justforever96 I've lived all over the country, but I'm back living about 4 blocks away from where I was as that little kid. Now they have the new F-35 fighters. Those things go roaring over my house at maybe 1,000 - 1,500 ft. There is no muffling technology on the engines, and they can make your bones literally rattle they're so loud. They're like airliners in the 1960's !
I always loved this plane for some reason. Even more then the F-80. That longer fuselage and canopy, and the big tip tanks make it look slimmer and faster, even if it's unarmed. And for some reason tip tanks just turn me on, big tip tanks (though I like smaller ones too). F-104, T-33, F-84, F9F, T-37, P-2, all sharp looking, just because those straight wings and tip tanks.

The T-33 had no "OFFICIAL" name. The single seat fighter P-80 / F-80 was the Shooting Star. The T-33 was Unofficially known as the T-Bird.
Nice looking plane looks so much better than its rival the German ME 262 when the T-33 was basically the P-80 Shooting star during WW2. Which was the better performer?
En la segunda guerra mundial cuanndo el Messerschmitt -262 operaba en escuadrones atacando las formaciones de bombarderos pesados B-17, el P-80 estaba en su etapa de vuelo de prototipos.
This is when flying a fighter took serious skill!! today the computer does everything for you....except dogfight...that's the last real skill of a fighter pilot anymore!!

Every time I see a T-33 flying, I think to myself, "That is the most beautiful plane ever made."
Thanks for the memory. Class 62-F at Willie, Deuces through 1971. Always current in the Bird. Ignition, then fuel. Made the day. Ro
the T-33 reminds me of Tyndall AFB, Fl. back in 1982-83 when I went for Air Weapons Controller school. I enjoyed that experience!

Exellent flying of T 33 Bird.
Was fortunate while a crew chief on the T-33 to be aboard a X country flight form Florida to New Mexico.
Nice job! I hopefully will be back at Sun n Fun in 2016 if it works out with my schedule.
Looking forward to it..... And a ride =)
You never know!!
+AceMaker33 To bad you didn't make it out to SUN 'n FUN Sunday. They had you on the schedule. Was looking forward to seeing your performance again.
Gorgeous plane!

I think you mean Korean War.
@@bobpeg7457 The P-80 was first flown in 1944 during WW2. Actually went into service in 1945.
the T-33 is a bit faster than the F-80. Because when they stretched the fuselage to make the T-33. it gave the airframe a bit more aerodynamics.

Aunque desde su diseño estuvo mal por sus alas rectas lo considero de los aviones más bonitos que han existido. No solo por que lo haya volado😅
