This 1955 Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star, registered as N330TR (serial A058), presents as a well-advanced restoration project with approximately 90% completion and all necessary parts available - including a significant inventory of spares. The airframe shows 2,000 total hours, while the Allison J-33-35 engine features a zero-time hot section. The project benefits from comprehensive work by an experienced T-33 instructor/builder, with notable components including a zero-time wing from NAS Pensacola, rebuilt landing gear with new bushings and seals, and new horizontal stabilizer. The aircraft carries an Experimental (non-Exhibition) certification, simplifying future operational approval.
The restoration includes rebuilt flight controls (rudder, elevator, dive brake), new brake calipers, rebuilt aileron boost system, and a refurbished A/C cycle machine. The electrical system is prepped for six dry 12V batteries. The paint dates to 1995 and the interior to 1985. As a historically significant warbird with VFR capability and two seats, this T-33 project comes with extensive support equipment and a second spare engine, offering a rare opportunity to complete a professionally guided restoration of this iconic jet trainer.
