I've been flying my old T-33 converted from ducted fan to a Wren mkIII, 14 pound thrust. This has been comfortable power, plenty for the job, but definitely not overpowered, yet still throttle back in cruise and rolling manuevers. Mine had, until this winter, the original BVM gear, too fragile for the weight of a turbine conversion. I converted to BV's latest setup after seeing one do the dreaded bounce last year and come away with only scratched paint, all four corners, and no landing gear damage, impressive.
Landing the T-33 has always been a precision affair, get it right, its a thing of beauty. The plane really floats in ground effect, but you have got to flair it out long enough to get the mains to touch before the mains, period, fail to get it slow enough, and she will start hopping wildly.
I love the flying the T-33, like an old type patternship, smooth and precise. Ground handling is very good even with the narrow gear, but good aileron use on crosswinds is required to save the tiptanks. She's not a trainer jet, but with good runways and proper flying technique it is a wonderful jet, I wouldn't trade mine.
