The Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star was the United States Air Force’s first combat-capable jet fighter, scoring the world’s first jet-against-jet aerial victory at the beginning of the Korean War.  A product of Kelly Johnson’s fertile design team (in what would later become the Lockheed Skunk Works), the F-80 spawned a long lineage with the T-33 advanced trainer and the F-94 Starfighter all-weather interceptor.
