Dude, I feel for you. When I was a CAP cadet back in the early 80's the Air Force was still using T-33's here in Alaska. Heck I still have a VERY bad picture of an A-10, F-15 and T-33 in formation floating around somewhere. I tried several times to beg, borrow or steal a ride in a T-33 but it never happened (came close to a ride in an OV-10 Bronco, but still didn't make it). Sweet birds...last time I saw one wasin 1999 in Reno at the air races. Gotta love that classic heavy iron.
