57-0687 colorful was with (26th TRW) SOC May 6, 1968 for transfer under MAP...to where?

51-6718 to French AF. Whats neat is the picture clearly shows the Turkish flag. Was to go to Turkish AF but instead went into storage at Sculthorpe AB in England. Eventually went to City of Norwich Aviation Museum.

53-5854 is at the Glenn L Martin Museum in Maryland in the same paint..but displayed outside.

133180 looks wonderful at an airshow...but fate unknown

133490 is With No. 417 (Combat Support)1995, at CFB Cold Lake, Alberta. To Boeing as N490X

52-9595 with the Phillippine AF may no longer be with us....

FAB 616 is ex RCAF 133580, the one that followed Paul's bird off the production line. To C-GWHN, to FAB 616 operated by GA-51, crashed on 22.5.1989

The stunning chamoflauged Bolivian 621 is ex RCAF 21015...the 15th RCAF Silver Star...and ex French AF!

The Latin AMerican birds have been tough to track...

Thanbk you for putting the pictures up...and any database info on Foreign AF T-33 use is welcomed...looking for French Dutch, Belgian...ect..

This one is in a yard outside of DFW Texas....hwy 81? perhaps...in company with two other forward fuselages. It was on display at Reese AFB before it closed, but then it was just extra stuff the USAF had no use for...

Surprised when I landed on the Kenai Peninsula airport just after seeing a bunch of T-33's in Utah...this is Alaska ANG 52-9772 (c/n 580-8032) to MASDC Feb 1, 1985. Noted summer 2005 preserved at Kenai ANGB, AK . It was neat to see there...but tough weather. Still she made it out of MASDC!

Just landed in Colorado Springs and saw this USAF T-33 lying in the base fire training area at Peterson AFB...Anyone have any idea who she is?

As an aside the Columbian Air Force operated 6 T-33 aircraft until 1973, and 18 F-80C fighters until???

There is a preserved "2033" photographed...but I have no serials yet.

Two more from the same production block...class of 57'

Lockheed T-33A-5-LO 57-0594 (26th TRW) was SOC Mar 6, 1973 for spares recovery....

57-0594.jpg

57-0561 looking a little worn went to the Turkish Air Force...but there is no record of her service there...perhaps reduced to spares on arrival...or somehow as a major parts donor to a wrecked bird she found the air again...

95 FITS T-bird; looks like the commander's jet, based on the stripes.

I don't suppose anyone has images of a CT-133 that has just arrived for display at the RAF Manston History Museum in Kent, UK?

Our recent arrival went by the following designations;

RCAF 21231 - RCAF 133231 - N10018(?) - N134AT - N333DV - N36TH - G-BYOY

Anything would be of great interest.

NF
