In service with the Canadian Air force 1955 - circa 2001. Sold to Air Combat Warfare International of Kitchener, ON, the T-Bird was assigned registration N479KK, but remained stored until moving to California in 2005 registered to Military Aircraft Restoration Corp collection (known in the 70s as Yesterday's Air Force). Privately owned after 2011, it's current on the US register as N479KK in Texas at the time of uploading.

Adorned with 'T-bird 50th Anniversary' markings, 133479 sits patiently at the ramp at Goose Bay prior to another mission. After it was withdrawn from use with the Canadian military, it was sold on the civil marked as N479KK.
