Taken on strength in 1959, relegated to instructional airframe in 1986 and struck of strength in 1989. This T-33 is from Wing Instrument Flight, 3 (F) Wing and the tail motif depicts the comic strip character named 'Joe Btfsplk' (the world's worst jinx) from the L'll Abner series by Al Capp. (This esoteric peace of information, along with several other RCAF tail motif details, comes thanks to James Craik who worked on many F-86, T-33 and CF-100 at 4 (F) Wing. Baden Soellingen, Germany.)
