Description: This aeroplane, a T33, was a 'special' aeroplane as far as the pilots who flew it were concerned. It was assigned to our airbase at Southport at the beginning of the flying career of the Red Knight, and flew many times in 'grand formation' over our city on Air Force days. Eventally, it was declared out of outdated, and was donated to the city of Portage la Prairie. After it was stripped of all inside equipment, it was transported the four mile by helicopter and put to rest on a pedestal at the entrance to Island Park. It is now considered on eof the landmarks of Portage la Prairie
