Taxiing out for its display as part of the centennial celebrations of the RCAF at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024. The Silver Star was a T-33A trainer license-built by Canadair. The T-33A was developed from the F-80B fuselage which was lengthened by 36.6 inches to accommodate the additional seat. This aircraft was taken on charge in 1957 by RCAF with s/n 21579, later renumbered as 133579 in 1970. It wears the two-tone camo of RCAF 439 Sqn that it served with. The unit emblem of the sabre-toothed tiger's head is visible on the tail. It was struck off charge and sold by RCAF in 2002.

Taken on Strength by the RCAF on March 21, 1957, this Silverstar was sold to Silverjet Llc as N433RD in November 2002. Initially displayed as USAF 52-1579 (in the CAF camouflage of it's last Canadian Air Force service), it reverted to the Canadian Air Force 439 SQN markings in 2008. The aircraft is one of the Canadian Silverstars with an upgrade that included a new one piece wrap around windscreen.

This classic bird is escaping the Canadian cold and seen basking in the late evening sunshine in Florida.
