@ Edwards AFB, CA
October 2022
Made a stop on my way off-base after the Edwards airshow to check out this weathered T-33 on a pole. The USAF Test Pilot School can be seen in the background. 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-133) in Canada.
