The Jet Aircraft Museum currently operates 7 Canadair T-33 Silver Stars - otherwise known as the T-bird. The Museum also has a DH-115 Vampire. The T-33 is the result of a 1951 contract to build T-33 Shooting Star Trainers for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). A project designation of CL-30 was given by Canadair and the name was changed to Silver Star. The appearance of the T-33 is very distinctive due to the large fuel tanks usually carried on each wingtip. A total of 656 T-33 aircraft were built by Canadair and were in service for over 50 years, from the 1950’s to 2005.
