Parts Dealer Builds
T33 Jet Out Of
30,000 Parts
DALLAS, UR — Bob Kamensky
of North Hollywood, Calif., has a
T33 Shooting Star for sale de
spite government regulations pro
hibiting private civilians from
owning military jet aircraft.
He built it himself from about
30,000 spare parts picked up dur
ing a three - year, international
scavenger hunt.
The plane looks so authentic,
government inspectors accused
him of swiping it when they saw
it, he said. Kamensky, a used
plane parts broker, said he picked
up parts in junk heaps from Al
aska to the Sahara Desert.
He got interested in the proj
ect when a Chicago banker told
him he wanted a jet for his own
use. Kamensky knew where he
could find a fuselage and a wing
in Nevada. The rest he figured
would be easy.
But the task, including frus
trating chases on false leads and
long struggles against govern
ment red tape, took him three
years and thousands of miles. In
Alaska junk heaps, he picked up
a landing gear, other vital parts
and a case of frosbite.
In Texas, he found a nose for
the plane. A glittering object on
an Arizona desert turned out to
be a T33 canopy. Other parts
turned up in Africa, France and
Oklahoma. He bought five used
engines to provide two good ones;
The banker sold-out after put
ting $130,000 into the venture.
But Kamensky says his craft, de
spite its fuel consumption of 240
gallons an hour, offers advan
tages—for instance — a speed of
550 miles an hour.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
A distinguished German as
tronomer made a catalog and
chart of all the stars in the north
ern hemisphere. His limit was the
9 Vi magnitude and he recorded
more than 324,000 stars. These
stars gave a total light equivalent
to 7,300 sixth magnitude stars.
Calculations prove that tele
scopic stars of this extensive cat
alog yield more than three times
the light than from visible stars.
The stars, then, which we cannot
see with the naked eye, give
more light than those we can see,
because of their vastly greater
numbers.
If, now, we can assume that
the southern heavens have an
equal number of stars, there
would be in the entire sidereal
heavens, about 600,000 stars to
the 9Vi magnitude. Their total
light has been calculated to be
equal to one-eightyieth that of
the average full moon.
There are ten stars of the first
magnitude in the northern hemi
sphere.
