Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star (N230CF)
Here’s one from my archives. Doug Matthews in his Lockheed T-33 (Canadair 1953), performing at The Gathering of Eagles Air Show at Lost Nation Airport in Willoughby, Ohio on 20 Jul 2014.

Back in the 80's we had a squadron of them at Clark AB, Philippines as aggressors for DACT. It was pretty cool to see history still flying a mission (The P-80 was the first U.S. Jet Fighter I believe...it saw limited use at the end of WWII).
Got buzzed by a pair of these while a 16 year old student pilot flying an Aeronca Champ in 1959. The thrill lasted much longer than it took to clean my pants.
Beautiful! That is a symbol!
Nice!
I always found this plane a fantastic shape...
