The Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star was designed by Clarence Kelly Johnson and manufactured by Lockheed as an American subsonic trainer aircraft during the late 1940s. Based on the Lockheed P-80/F-80 jet fighter, the T-33 Shooting Star first flew in March 1948 and was retired in July 2017. It was produced from 1948 to 1959 with a total number of 6,557 aircraft built.
This Aircraft N133CN T-33. Is actually a Canadian copy of the Lockheed T-33 shooting Star called a Canadair CT-133 Silver Star but using the Rolls Royce Nene 10 engine. This aircraft was acquired from the Jet Aviation Museum (JAM) in London, Ontario Canada where it was restored to flying condition and then ferried to Mobile, Alabama where it is based today. The paint scheme is representative of the 75-anniversary airshow scheme that flew in the early 1990s. This scheme was picked in 2020 as it was the 100th Anniversary of the Canadian Airforce. An interesting fact is that the Nene 10 engine that powers the CT-133 was copied by the Soviets and is the same engine used in the MiG-15, MiG-17 and several other first generation soviet jets. The copy is so close that some parts are interchangeable between each other
