The '''Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star''' was the first operational jet fighter used by the United States Army Air Forces, and saw extensive combat in Korea with the United States Air Force as the '''F-80'''. As one of the world's first successful turbojet-powered combat [[aircraft]], it helped usher in the "jet age" in the USAF and other air forces worldwide. One of its claims to fame is in training a new generation of pilots, especially in its closely-related T-33 Shooting Star trainer development. | The '''Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star''' was the first operational jet fighter used by the United States Army Air Forces, and saw extensive combat in Korea with the United States Air Force as the '''F-80'''.
