Lockheed T-33A Shooting Star FT-34 ex 55-3043 on display at the Brussels Air Museum on 11 March 2025. The T-33A was based on the single seat P-80, first flying in 1948.
From 1952 to 1956 the Belgian Air Force received 39 T-33As (serials FT-1 to FT-38), eight were later transferred to the Royal Netherlands Air Force. They were needed to train pilots on the new F-84s that were then being delivered. They remained in service until 1979 as jet trainers.
There are two lights mounted on the nose strut of the T-33A Shooting Star. According to the flight manual for the T-33A, when the pilot selects LANDING LIGHTS, both lights are on, but in the TAXI LIGHT switch position, only one light is on.
