It was Valentines Day 1987 on the MASDC Photographer's Tour and I considered this Lockheed T-1A Seastar a real catch! She arrived MASDC in April 1970. Quite incredibly, over 50 years after her arrival, she is still seen by visitors on the Display Row.
Back to Valentines Day 1987 and a first scan after 35 years! This is a T-33A Shooting Star serial 52-9757 pcn TCB 92 recorded as last operated by the 4754th ADW. She looks as if she has spent many years sleeping under the Arizona sun.
