Here are some photos I took of F-80 / P-80 Shooting Star examples on display at Robins AFB, Castle AFB, Eglin AFB, PoF Chino, Museum of Flight, Douglas GA and the NMoUSAF.

The original designation for the aircraft, which was used during World War II, was the P-80 (P for pursuit). After 1948, the Air Force changed the designation from “P” to “F” to stand for “fighter”

The P-80 was the basis for the T-33 Shooting Star trainer aircraft and the F-94 Starfire
