my '56 Special

I know of a T-33A Shooting Star at the Hickory NC Air Musuem. They have about 15 Aircraft and free admission.

I do not know where the T-33 in the posted picutre is located.

 

Just like today, All the guys are standing around the hotrod.

 

I'm not sure if this is the same or not? It looks similiar but without seeing wing and landing gear locations it's hard to tell?

 

...

 

One thing I've noticed is back then very few people drove trucks or SUV's. You take a picture of a parking lot today and half the vehicles will be trucks or SUVs.

 

Looks like a P-80, almost the same as a T-33.

Where is it located ?

 

Today I was reading a newsletter from my utility company in NC and here is what I saw...another T-33!

 

This picture may have been taken in Texas on hwy. 82 between Bonham, TX. and Paris TX. There is/was a guy that had several old planes. I havn't been across that way in a number of years so I'm not sure if the planes are still there or not.

^^^^ So basically it's a slightly modified T33 for the Canadian Airforce...

CF-105 Avro Arrow (1950s)

 

Kind of, they were built near Montreal at Canadair Aircraft. They used a Rolls-Royce engine instead of an Allison engine. There were other small differences.

 

Well we now know that it was the Canadian version of the T33, the CT-133 Silver Star

If you want to know were the pic was taken, you may find it if you start here:

Is this Natalie Wood?

 

photo looks like it was taken over Halifax Nova Scotia

 

The field plane is still a tf-33 the p-80 has a much shorter cockpit. There's alot of tf-33,t-33,and cl-133s around, they were produced in high numbers as a jet trainer for all nato countries, it's a great plane and is based off of the p-80 which was in fact americas first production jet fighter......

now what do you guys think of this picture?

 

Nice pic. kinda looks like a reenactment rather than the real thing IMO. USMC Pacific theatre. Airbrush out the tannoy speaker in the background and yer there Like the water cooled .30

 

HAHAHA....I was sorta hoping it might take longer to get than that.well done! and yeas, the .30 works.

 

Posting a few vintage pics for Memorial Day.
