     My first ride in a jet aircraft was in a T-33 at ROTC field training at 
Otis AFB in the summer of 1971.  I remember the A/C conking out and it got very 
warm while doing barrel rolls over Martha's Vineyard.

     The last time I saw one was during a PANG weekend drill at Harrisburg IAP. 
 It was the personal aircraft of an ANG general and is was brightly polished.  
While he was visiting our HQ there was a pair of support guys polishing it.  
Damned nice.
