Moderators, I received a PM from WIX user Steven Dennis. However, I am apparently blocked from replying -- is it possible to kindly enable that for me?

Steven, if you're following, it's in the Milwaukee area -- not far from Rice Lake, WI, where you're at. I hope it's not against forum rules, but since I can't PM you back, would you please email me at sales@avtutorials.com ? Thank you.

[quote="stevem"]Hi Nathan, I have a T-33 nose section that I am looking to part with -- complete with instruments, both ejection seats, canopy, controls, etc.

Is that by any chance one of the former Milwaukee Area Tech College training airframes? They had two that ended up in a junkyard in the Milwaukee area, the cut through the wing looks identical.

No, this was not one of the T-33s from MATC. Still, I would be willing to bet that those MATC T-33s (of which I never saw them) were completely stripped of everything inside. We had a T-33 at the University of Illinois, and it was completely stripped -- no components remaining.

This one is complete, with both cockpits in-tact.

You are correct, the MATC birds were stripped of the hydraulic and electrical systems. We used the mocked-up systems in A&P class.

I can almost read the radio call tab on the panel - is this 52-9472?
