The winner of the British Airways Trophy for the Concours d'elegance category of Sky Tanker 85. Operated by 145th Air Refueling Squadron (145 ARS) a unit of the Ohio Air National Guard 121st Air Refueling Wing located at Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base, Columbus, Ohio. Delivered in 1958. Converted to a KC-135E in 1983. Preserved at Scott Field Heritage Airpark, Scott AFB, IL from 2009.

Providing shade for spectators waiting for the airshow. Last unit is quoted by Forgotten Jets as the 87th FIS at Lockbourne AFB in September 1968, though that was not an Ohio ANG unit. She spent some time preserved at Lockbourne AFB before coming to Vinton County for display (though the same source quotes time at the USAF Museum in Dayton as well.) Weirdly enough, the next T-33 in serial sequence (57-0587) is displayed in Flagler, Colorado, where I photographed her 15 years prior.

Slide was taken by Jack Friell and part of my collection.
