T-33 Down in California

ANN Reader John noted, "Was expecting to see an article on the Canadian built T-33 that crashed here in Canyon Country the other day. Details were sketchy but it was flown out of Van Nuys and owned/operated by a doctor who was killed in the crash.

"N99192 was the FAA registration number. Three mobile homes were destroyed and several more were damaged. One man on the ground received burns. Because the aircraft is fitted with ejection seats the area was evacuated, including a school, until they could determine if there was any danger.

"First reports had it as a WWII jet aircraft with swept wings and tip tanks?"

[Because details were sketchy and often contradictory, we held off on this particular story, until today. The 1953-build trainer (file photo shown above) was registered to the Blossom Company in Delaware and flown by a S. Cal Physician. Thanks, John --ed.]
