The P-80 was developed in an astounding 143 days and was the first jet fighter to be used by the USAF. However the lack of a swept wing meant it was rapidly switched to ground attack and air-to-air missions. TO-1 was the initial Navy designation for the P-80C, of which 16 were delivered to the Marines. In 1950 it was redesignated to TV-1. This example has completed her restoration and is now on display at the Carolinas Aviation Museum.
