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.

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.
