Photographer's remark

The Canadair CT-133 was the result of a 1951 contract to build T-33 Shooting Star trainers for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). The power plant is a Rolls-Royce Nene 10 turbojet instead of the Allison J33 used by Lockheed in the production of the original T-33. A project designation of CL-30 was given by Canadair and the name was changed to Silver Star. The appearance of the CT-133 is very distinctive due to the large fuel tanks usually carried on each wingtip. A total of 656 CT-133 aircraft were built by Canadair. This aircraft finished her career being flown at low level over the ocean imitating a cruise missile attacking Canadian Navy ships. You can see the seeker head/emitter on the nose. It was probably a lot more fun for the pilots rather than blasting along at 20,000 ft. She could use a bit of love and attention. Maybe some air?!?
