The first – and a very popular – Jet\u00a0Trainer<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0T-Bird was developed from the P-80. As superior fighter jets like the\u00a0MiG-15 Fagot\u00a0or the\u00a0F-86\u00a0Sabre sent the P-80 in retirement – it took over another role. As a two-seater, the Shooting Star became the\u00a0T-33 – the first dedicated military jet trainer. The T-33 was responsible to make\u00a0countless fighter pilots of the USAF and the US Navy – many\u00a0were at that point\u00a0still qualified to\u00a0operate\u00a0propeller-driven military aircraft only\u00a0– ready for the jet age. And in this new role the Shooting Star was so good, that after having her maiden flight in March\u00a01948, it was in service in the US until\u00a01997. In numerous variants, and under license,\u00a06557 units of the T-33 have been produced. On top of that, advanced versions like the Canadian\u00a0Canadair CT-133 Silver Star was also produced in\u00a0656 units, for example. The\u00a0CT-133 was flown by the\u00a0Royal Canadian Air Force until\u00a02005 and is still operational with the Bolivian Air Force.<\/p>\n
