The
Adventure: Get ready to meet the legendary T-33 jet trainer.
A variation of the F-80 jet fighter, the T-33 was America’s very first
jet trainer. It’s still a favorite of pilots today, who love the jet’s
gliding ability. Choose a single, 30 minute flight, or a three-flight
adventure, complete with basic ground school.
The
Location: Flights take place at the Planes of Fame Air
Museum in Chino, California. Founded in 1957 with six airplanes,
the Planes of Fame Museum now features 140 aircraft, including the world’s
largest collection of Japanese planes. Many of the museum’s aircraft
appear in popular movies and tv shows. When you fly the T-33, you receive
membership to the museum and access to facilities.
The
T-33: The
“T-Bird” is capable of speeds in excess of 500 mph. It was manufactured
by Lockheed and was used by the Air Force for pilot training until 1990.
It features a pressurized cabin, dual controls and ejection seats. A
Canadian version of the T-33 features a slightly different cockpit configuration.
