, MI | I was a crew chief on the T-33 in the Royal Dutch Air Force, however, I have never been able to find out who and why the name T-Bird was given to the plane. Does anybody know? Has anybody a picture of a aircraft data plate? regards, from Holland

Steve Weiss
North Las Vegas, NV | Does anyone know what happened to the T-33 previously mounted on a concrete pylon at Calumet Air Force Station, Michigan? Other websites confuse the serial number (51-4263) with the same example that had been mounted on display at K.I. Sawyer AFB, Michigan. Not exactly sure where the one from Calumet went after site closure in 1988. Can anyone help?
