USAF T-33, T-Bird Trainer, #80700, Clearwater Aircraft Museum, Clearwater, FL (1 of 2)
On March 11, 1994, during a Business Trip to Clearwater, Florida, I took these Photographs at an Aircraft Museum behind the Clearwater/St. Petersburg Airport. This Airport was directly across Roosevelt Boulevard from Smiths Aerospace Company. My home base was Smiths Aerospace Company in Florham Park, New Jersey, but I often visited the Clearwater Plant for various reasons. The Placard notes that this Aircraft is on loan from the US Air Force Museum Program.
This particular photograph shows United States Air Force T-33 T-Bird Trainer #80700 Jet Aircraft at the Clearwater Aircraft Museum. This Aircraft is a Lockheed Built Shooting Star (aka: T-Bird) Subsonic Jet Trainer. For further information about this aircraft, see:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_T-33
The Clearwater Airport Museum wasn't much of a Museum because most of the Aircraft were Old Military Aircraft which were in very poor condition because there was apparently no attempt to Restore any of these Aircraft. There was also a small Faux Village with some shops & eateries near the Museum. Whenever visited the Smiths Clearwater Plant, I would eat lunch at least once at the Hanger Club in the Faux Village. Both the Museum and the Faux Village were located just North of the Airport near the ramp leading to the Bayside Bridge. Since my company transferred me to Florida in 1996, the Village has been demolished because of the expansion of the US Coast Guard Station.
I took this photograph with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35mm SLR Film Camera with Color Slide Film. I Scanned the Slide to create the Electronic Image presented here on the flickr™ site, using Photo Shop™ to improved the Exposure and Sharpness.
DISCLAIMER: I took these slides in the Mid 1990's, while I was just learning Photography and therefore they exhibited very poor Exposure, Composition and Sharpness. I've utilized Photoshop Elements 10™ to optimized them as best as I could.
