Was a plane captain on the T33 (TBird) at NAS Oceana during Aug 67 til June 69. Was a great bird except if having to eject from back seat.

The T-33 at the Valiant Air Command was obtained from the US Navy and is actually a TV-2.

Of the T-33s listed I don't see the one listed in Texarkana, TX. It is located at Spring Lake Park and has been there for more than 30 years.
