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.
