Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Hello Pillow/Michael,

Please keep us up-to-date on N132. It is rather unfortunate she had to suffer this accident so soon after the testflights, but here's hoping for a return! :thumb:

Question, how do plane insurances deal with that? In the same way as car insurances?
Commercial airplanes are usually under insurance with multiple companies, not just one company per individual aircraft.

T-33A N132GB has been cancelled from the US civil register on 28 februari 2018, but on the same day the registration was reserved/on hold with purge date 28 feb 2023.

To me that would indicate the aircraft is being worked on with intent to fly again...

I can't find any reports about it, or photos, after it's accident, other than a suggestion (but no photos) that it was at a museum at Mendig (which closed at the end of 2013) in Germany and would be used in the rebuild of another T-33.

It arrived in Europe as N32GB in August 1998, and subsequently became OY-RUT and then N132GB. A T-33 registered N32GB was at Sun 'n Fun in 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2004. It was for sale after December 2012 (the owner passed away in 2015, so the sale may have been after that) and turned up in a museum in LA in 2017. All this (and a lot more!) can be found courtesy of a well known search engine!

So there would appear to be two N32GBs, but working out their histories is challenging (despite the well known search engine!) One is claimed to be 53-6091, but which one and what's the other one?!
