This model is a reproduction of the famous american aircraft trainer. Here is an example textured to represent T-33-15-LO Serial Number 58-0510, assigned to the 49th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, Griffiss AFB, New York C1983
The AIRCRAFT
%8-0510 was the personal aircraft of then 1Lt Paul Lockhart. On a cross country flight in December, 1986 the canopy departed the aircraft for unknown reasons and the pilot, a 2Lt Glasgow, declared an emergency and landed in Youngstown, Ohio, with no further mishaps. The aircraft stayed at Youngstown for an unknown period of time, and was then apparently sent to the USAF bombing range at Avon Park, Florida for target duty. It's fate after it's arrival is unknown, but it couldn't have been pretty. A sad end for a good airplane.
As an interesting postscript, 1Lt Lockhart is now a Lt. Colonel and a NASA Astronaut. He is scheduled to fly the Space Shuttle for the first time in a month or two.
MODEL
This model for Flight Simulator 2002 was created using Flight Simulator Design Studio Pro (FSDS Pro), from Abacus Publications (http://www.abacuspub.com). The model features full moving parts with a realistic rendered motion of the main gear,with recessed wheel wells a nose wheel steering, and pilots in a virtual cockpit.
The realistic FS2k Air file made by Bruce Thorson is an adaptation of my former F 80 fighter.
