The T-33 was a trainer
version of America's first production jet fighter, the P-80. It entered
US service in 1950. Canada and Japan also built the T-33 under license
and both countries still use them as trainers today. About 1,700 P-80
fighters were built, while over 7,000 T-33s were made. There were two
T-33 Shooting Stars that flew at the show.
