The Mexican Air Force flew the T-33 from 1961 when 15 former USAF AT-33As entered service. 4019 was delivered as JE-019, the first of a batch of 40 ex USAF T-33As delivered in 1986. In 1998 all surviving T-33s were relocated to Esc 402 at Ixtepec before the type was finally withdrawn in July 2007. Following withdrawal the aircraft has been displayed since 2009 at Base Aerea 4 at Cozumel.

Delivered new on lease to Aeromar in October 1999 and returned off lease as F-WNUI in December 2016. Became N806HC in April 2018 with Empire Airlines/Ohana by Hawaiian.

With the last rays of light, we were allowed to take pictures of this T-33A on the operational ramp of Escuadron Aereo 402 at Ixtepec. A few years later, all T-33As were retired.

Ex JE-044, operated from Ixtepec by Esc 402 of Grupo Aerea 1, the final Mexican Air Force unit to operate the type before their withdrawal in 2007. Preserved at Culiacán since 2010.
