Lockheed T-33A - RCAF

After a quick start, the look of the seats was bothering me. Some research at the seats in the kit are closer to a late style seat not the early style that would have been in the subject T-Bird. The arm rests were re-built, added the seat pan and pad, seat belts from the spares bin, some ballistic lines and the catapult.

Now to repeat that on the second seat.

Much improved (y)

Keep up the good work. (y)

Had three of these during my stay at Mac Dill . Did not fly much but I always enjoyed it when they did.

Very graceful and nearly silent . The Canadian still had at least one in operation in Germany until 1986 :D

Cheers, Christian B)

We retired our last one in 2005 with over 11,000 hrs on it.

That's one of only three 'fast-jets' in my log book. One of the CAF Hornet squadrons had (I think) a couple when they were at Baden–Soellingen, they came over to us once or twice a month for meetings or more likely just so the pilots could get some leave in London !!.

Enough of that, great to see a Canadian T-33 being built here.

4 Wing had a flight of 5 T-Birds operating in the utility role shuttling parts and ferry pilots, liaison, transport and acting as threats/targets for the CF188's.
