Warbird Information Exchange

Curious about what everyones opinion about this is.

Here is my submission from the 49th Fighter Interceptor Squadron. T-33 served as OPFOR for the unit's F-106s from the early '50s to the mid '80s

This one's cool, the scheme it had at AETE at CFB Cold Lake at the end of it's service in the Canadian Air Force. I got to ferry it out of CFB Mountainview.




This is actually my airplane in the early '90s. If I ever have it repainted, this scheme would be at the top of the list.

Neatest scheme i ever saw on a Canadian T-bird although there aren't a lot of pictures of it around the web:

Paul, I was actually hoping you might consider this...

It was a good idea, it just didn't work.

Here's my vote:

RCAF Silver Star 21500 as a Golden Hawks support aircraft
(Later CT-133 133500, now C-FUPO with JAM in London)
Nice to know it will be repainted in these colours!

The 123rd FIS OR ANG operated T-33s for quite a long time. Most were grey or low vis
but one was polished with all the OR ANG markings inc the Red Hawk on the tail. It really looked nice!

Don't touch my junk!!

A new one, the Palm Springs Air Museum's TV-2 in Korean War Markings...



And my favorite RCAF schemes...





I really think 133579 has looked good for years, both in "USAF" and RCAF markings, just a well presented aircraft.



also think the red is neat...

A "plain jane" TV-2 looks very good though...

this shot from flicker...

my vote is this one seen on canmilair.com

Silver Star 133275 was withdrawn for spares use at CFD Mountain view in March of 1994, but survives, and is on display at the CWH Museum in Hamilton ONT.


Another one was in that scheme, but was bare metal. This is 1973-75 I believe.



052 in a European low vis scheme...also with a travel pod...



And how bout a Canadian Navy T-Beast...another one off scheme. This one today on static display at CFB Comox.

No offense meant but anybody got any more American examples ? We have a Lockheed and a Canadair paint scheme would be incorrect !
