Was this a CAF aircraft?
I beleive the Navy still fly them as trainers. One went into Corpus Christi Bay last month.
Unless they have changed their ways recently, the CAF was only 1939-1945 aircraft.
I used to maintain a T-33A and a T-28C for a private owner and he had to fight to get fuel credits for airshows with the T-33 because he proved that the F-80 actually flew in Italy in 1945 however the T-28 was never accepted by the CAF because it was a '50's vintage trainer for the strait winged Navy Fury and the Air Force F-86 Sabre Jet.
The T-28 is very comfortable aircraft to fly.
