Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star

The introduction of the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star signaled the beginning of a period of major transformation for the United States Air Force. These new planes differed from their predecessors in that they did not have propellers on their wings. It was only a small number of P-80s built, whereas the T-Bird was more suitable to the military market. A total of 7,000 units were manufactured at various locations throughout the world. Several military organizations continue to employ this type of weapon today.
