AX 365 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Outside a Royal Canadian Legion near Barrie, Ontario: And a wee detail shot of the one at the Canadian Air and Space Museum, a very short knife used to smash the canopy in an emergency. It's attached to the port window ledge: And the man who flew it in 1964, Mr. Bill Slaughter. I work with his daughter. I presented this Academy 1/48 dressed up as the Red Knight to Bill in early 2009. A true gentleman, he is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) I'm sure he really appreciates and enjoys the model you built for him Ax. Edited March 30, 2010 by Aggressor Supporter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F106A Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Given the recent release of the CM 1/32 scale T-33 I thought I'd add a few shots of the T-Bird on display at Dyess AFB, and bump up this thread. Lot's of ideas for markings here! I can get close-ups/walk-around shots if anyone needs them, but ask quickly -- I'm leaving for the desert in about a month. Oh, and wait two weeks as I am TDY right now as well! Mark I'm not saying these markings are 100% accurate, or complete, but for an old display, they're not bad! A close-up of the wing tank decals. Note that they hand painted the 84th FIS markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richter111 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 thanks for bumping this. It is amazing how many different schemes there are available for the kit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Here's my meagre contribution. Taken at Elmendorf AFB on a glorious spring day in May 1985. 5021st Tactical Operations Squadron, 21st TFW. They don't get any prettier than this! J Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ByronLeal Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 This T-33 was in the FAG acrobatic team, as far as I know. Byron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott Hemsley Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Gents:A picture found on another website (uncredited) of a Canadian T-Bird taken in 1997 in Germany showing wrap around camo and "F-5" type windscreen. Supposedly this was installed on a/c during last maintenance prior to disposal. Comments or info? It definitey looks CF-5 like! No forward framing! Alvin5182 To explain the frameless windscreen, a number of CAF CT-133 went through a late-life update program. Not positive of all the mods, but I know they included a instrumentation/cockpit update as well as the frameless-windsreen.... then we retired them (figures).

Aggressor Supporter Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 TR-199 looks awesome. Nice and clean and shiny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALF18 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Great shot of the upgraded cockpit. To a true T-33 pilot, this new instrumentation looks like cheating! Half the 'fun' of flying this old beast was using the black bowling ball attitude indicator that precessed (drifted off centre) in turns, and was impossible to interpret quickly in extreme attitudes.

ALF18 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Here are some of my own pics. This one is from Shearwater (near Halifax) circa 1979 - I was flying in the back seat of another one from VU-33. This is the T-33 parked outside as part of the Bagotville Air Defence Museum collection. 439 Squadron Bagotville, tail number 133333. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ALF18 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Again from the Bagotville Air Defence Museum. This is a T-33 seat that is installed in a bogus wooden cockpit - it is not a T-bird cockpit, but the seat is real. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jinxter13 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Ol' squirrely has never looked better....and the benches in front off to the sides seem to be a place for T-33 fans to come or go and relax and rekindle fond memories. Thanks for the pix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
