NOt the best photos, I know...

I remember inspecting 21377 at Mountainview five years ago and she was among the best Avionics Upgrade Program (AUP) T-33s in that batch. Glad to see she'll get to fly more often now that she's at PoF.

Think that Tiger will ever get airborne again? fun to think about. . .

Hi,

The Tiger behind the F-80, is the Super Tiger ?

SPang

Thanks for the shots of the T-33, the F-80 (and the F11F/F-11 Tiger!)

Is there any chance that the F-80C fuselage could become the basis of a flying F-80 Shooting Star someday??

And Paul - I enjoyed seeing your T-33 in action at Thunder Over Michigan last month. When at first I didn't see it on Friday or Saturday I was afraid you didn't make it. But on Sunday when I was hanging around near the area waiting for my late day departure from the Detroit airport, I caught some great views of you flying circuits of the field with the F-86F and the MiG-17F. GREAT looking T-33! I wish I could have caught you flying in that terrific 4-Jet formation at Oshkosh later in July (with the "Red Knight" T-33, the FJ-4B Fury and the F-86F Sabre).

Thanks Jim! Yah, I was late getting back from Canada where I was ferrying T-33s out of Mountainview/Trenton to Burlington VT (those three T-33s are in Portsmouth NH now). I asked airboss at Thunder if I could sneak in during the show on Saturday but it was too close to the Blues flying so I had to wait til they finished.
