The design of what was to become the first operational jet fighter of the US Army Air Force began in June, 1934, with the first prototype being flown on January 8, 1944. The P-80 Shooting Star began to enter USAAF service in early 1945, and a total of 45 had been delivered by the time World War II ended. When production ended, Lockheed had built a total of 1,732 P-80s (later designated F-80). Even more successful was the T-33 Shooting Star, a lengthened fuselage version to accommodate a second seat in tandem, of which more than 6,000 aircraft were built. The P-80C had a top speed of 594mph at sea level, service ceiling of 46,800 ft, and a range of 825 miles. All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
