Manufactured by Lockheed at Burbank, California, this T-33 was delivered to the Alaskan Air Command in November 1954.  It was later reassigned to the 6486th Air Base Wing at Hickam AFB before retirement in 1973.  Following military service the aircraft was at Honolulu Community College from 1973 until 1988, then bounced around various owners before finding its way to the Pacific Aviation Museum in 2011.
