In 1947, the P-80s high accident rate caused Lockheed to design a two-seat trainer version of the P-80C to combat the problem. The T-33Arizona Aerospace Foundation is significantly longer than the P-80 and adds wingtip fuel tanks to make up for fuel storage in the fuselage lost to the second seat. The U.S. Navy as well as the Air Force adopted the Shooting Star. In Navy service they were initially designated as the TV-2, later they were re-designated as the T-33B. They are in all ways identical to the Air Force version of the aircraft.
