?One of my first model airplanes was the F-80.  I presume this red one is a
T33.  ?

Dad was a mechanic on C-124's in that era, and stationed at SAC bases, so
there were only a few of those lovely little jets around.  I think brass
used them to get time in to keep flight status.

The interceptors in those days were all F86, I think.

I'd love to see the Red Knight sometimes.

I think I recall seeing one flying with a MIG 15 at an airshow once, but
maybe they were hanging on strings from my ceiling.  ;-)
