The US distributor of Portuguese (sp?) spares is located in Illinois.
They have available parts for T33, T-37, F-5, C-130 and others.

Is Mexico still flying there T-33s? Tulio?

One of my favorite all time jets. If someone could reengine them with a fuel efficient , affordable turbofan , they would really have something.

In the photo:
The bottom of the nose of the T-33 seems flattened. The nose gear doors seem to have had a scrape.
Must be a story to this.

Very observant , the tires look a little low too. Think you'd want to do a good preflight

Also, the pitot probe seems to missing; musta also been scraped off.
