Made a stop here at the Estrella Warbirds Museum on the drive home from Wings Over Camarillo.  A very nice collection of primarily jet aircraft in an outdoor high desert setting.  The Lockheed T-33 is one of the world’s best-known aircraft, having served with the air forces of more than 40 different countries. The last operator of the T-33, the Bolivian Air Force, retired their T-33’s in July 2017 after 44 years of service. This classic jet warbird first flew in 1948 and over 6500 were produced by Lockheed and Canadair (CT-33) in Canada. Nikon D500 w/18-200mm.
