This is a replica of the famous 1944 aircraft to oppose the ME262. here's an exciting bit of history to go with this plane.
Shooting Stars over Korea
On November 8, 1950, the first jet-vs-jet aerial combat took place between a P-80 Shooting Star and a MIG-15 in the area in northwest Korea later known as "MIG Alley". Several days prior to the fateful day, Mig 15 jets had been encountered by USAF F-51Ds on patrol near the Yalu River area. On the afternoon of 8 November, Lt. Russell Brown piloting his Shooting Star of the 16th FISq, outmaneuvered two attacking Mig 15s, tacked onto the tail of one of them, and poured .50 caliber fire into him until the Mig exploded. It was the first of 827 Migs to be shot down in Korea and the first jet-vs-jet victory ever. Units in Korea also used the TF-80C/T-33 and the RF-80. TF-80C's and T-33's were used for photo-recon and pilot familarization flights.
