The aircraft once belonged to the local VFW where it became increasingly vandalized. The current owner, a United States Marine, took possession of the aircraft (circa 1975) and has treasured it ever since.
The nose orientation changes from time to time. And the aircraft is moved around the yard occasionally.
The T33 is a 2-seat trainer version of the P-80.
