I had the rare opportunity to fly in a historic jet trainer ahead of the Pacific Airshow in October. The T-33 Shooting Star was used to train US Air Force pilots on jet aircraft until the early 1960s.

How the T-38 Talon became America's first supersonic trainer, shaping USAF pilot training and NASA astronaut missions for six decades.

National Cold War Center to restore vintage 1958 Lockheed T-33 trainer, repaint it in 1950s Blytheville AFB colors and place it on static display after decades in training and testing roles.
