Here is how this one got polished four years ago, but this young lady moved away.

She always drew comments when I posted images that included her. :-)

I like the T33, Jim (I hope that I have that right).  I live not far from Old 
Warden
airfield, where the Shuttleworth Collection of old and ancient aircraft is kept 
and
flown.  I might try to set myself the task of photographing each member of the 
collection.

      My first ride in a jet aircraft was in a T-33 at ROTC field training at 
Otis AFB in the summer of 1971.  I remember the A/C conking out and it got very 
warm while doing barrel rolls over Martha's Vineyard.

      The last time I saw one was during a PANG weekend drill at Harrisburg 
IAP.  It was the personal aircraft of an ANG general and is was brightly 
polished.  While he was visiting our HQ there was a pair of support guys 
polishing it.  Damned nice.
