Current T-33 Operations

In light of the F-80 thread I started on the Historic forum, it roused my curiosity to inquire about the T-33’s that are left in some form of operational service around the world today.

From what I can gather, both Mexico and Bolivia both operate the Lockheed legacy in at least the training role. I believe both at one point possibly operated the AT-33A, (possibly the RT-33A though I’m not sure) but I don’t know if they are still in service or not.

Canada actually still operates four CT-133’s with the AETE at CFB Cold Lake in Alberta. I love the paint scheme on CAF T-Birds. It makes them look quite modern.

I also enjoy the varying colors of Latin American T-33’s. I believe Bolivia’s have a nice camo scheme going, with Mexico’s having a more dull olive drab scheme.

So can anyone provide details about the current operations of Bolivian, Mexican, and even Canadian T-Birds?

Does anyone else still operate the T-33 that I’m not mentioning here?

Numbers, squadrons, and missions would be nice. I checked Scramble for a lot of this info.
