Caption: This 1951 example of the Lockheed T-33A-1 was initially assembled and made fly-able in San Angelo, Texas. The owner then donated it to the Commemorative (nee Confederate) Air Force in Midland, Texas. The CAF finished flight testing and certification of the plane in the Experimental Exhibition category.
It then sat in the Midland hangar until John Fulton and Doug Cayne petitioned to have the plane assigned to the Golden Gate Wing. While mechanically sound, the cosmetics were left "as is," giving it an old, operational look.
