Lockheed TV-2 (T-33B) Shooting Star
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-33 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 Shooting Star was adopted by the U.S. Navy as well as the Air Force. In Navy service they were initially designated as the TV-2, later they were redesignated as the T-33B. They are in all ways identical to the Air Force version of the aircraft.

North American T-28C Trojan
The North American T-28 Trojan was developed as a primary training for the U.S. Air Force in 1948 and entered service in 1950. The U.S. Navy introduced the T-28 in 1953, more than three years after it entered service with the U.S. Air Force. The Navy’s version of the aircraft, the T-28B, differed from the Air Force version primarily in having a larger engine and a three-blade propeller instead of a two-blade prop. The T-28C was basically identical to the B-model except that it added a tail hook usable for carrier landings. The Trojan served with the U.S. Navy until 1984.
