I remember seeing these (or one of the other batches) fly over my house.

Bolivia received 15 Canadair built T-33s in 1973. These were supplemented by 18 (?) ex French Air Force examples overhauled and delivered 1985-86. Most have been recently upgraded in Canada and remain in service.

Very nice! Tidy too – were they repainted for delivery?

Eye-catching scheme – haven’t seen this before.

What became of these?

I remember the day very well. The run and break made things interesting for ATC:

F-ZVLC / F-ZVLD / F-ZVLI

We must have used the same steps, there were always plenty on the Glasgow Apron:

F-ZVLC / F-ZVLD / F-ZVLI

A carefully timed airfield inspection:
