Credit to SpiritusRaptor for the P-80 model and BaconAirlines for the gyrostabilizer. The Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star was an American advanced trainer based off the P-80/F-80. Variants would include the AT-33 weapons trainer/light attack plane, NT-33 special test aircraft, and RT-33 reconnaissance aircraft. Although the P-80 it was derived from would see fairly limited service and be out of service by any air arm by the 1974, the T-33 would see service well beyond that; it would remain in US service until the 1990's, and Canadian-built examples remain in service in Bolivia as of 2015. In addition, many American- and Canadian-made aircraft remain operational in private hands; Boeing employed one of their two machines in 2010 during the maiden flight of the Boeing 787. This example is an AT-33A operated by the fictional Paternian Air Force in the C&C Roleplay. It would remain in service with the Paternian Air Force alongside the T-38 until 1985, when it was replaced by the TA-8C. It would see longer service in export nations.

    @XxcreedexX You can still do that.

    When I make replica planes, I prefer to use an existing build and modify/upgrade it to my needs.
