I bet @TiAir would do a 2024 conversion for his German camo livery if asked nicely. I certainly would love to have it back in my hangar in 2024; I'd flown the 2020 version around Germany.
TiAir, if you did want to convert it, there are at least two of us who'd be excited.
Probably way more!

You should be able to bring a FS2020 livery into FS2024. It's pretty easy and I think Denny could figure it out.
*NEW* - 21558/133558 of Utility Squadron 32 (VU 32), Maritime Air Group, HMCS Shearwater, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, circa 1970.
An interesting scheme from an era of transition - the Canadian Army, RCAF, and RCN were unified into a single entity called the Canadian Armed Forces in the late 1960s, with different branches according to role; Mobile Command, Air Command, and Maritime Command, for example. Also, starting in 1970, CAF aircraft serials were changed from a five to a six-digit format, where the leading three digits indicated the type designation while the trailing three identified the individual aircraft number. ie: the T-33 Mk.3 which had carried serials led with "21" became the CT-133, with serials "133xxx".
The description at the top is based on a best guess as to what the base and parent unit were called in 1970. I have read that Air Command assumed control of Maritime Air Group in 1975, at which point Naval Aviation in Canada officially ended.
Aircraft has CAF markings and serial on tail but retains the "21558" serial on the forward left fuselage. High-visibility tow target markings were carried, with cutouts for the large "buzz numbers". Aircraft also carried the badge for VU 32.
Livery inspired from a couple of pics I found online of Capt. William "Turbo" Tarling with this aircraft, as seen above. As well as other jet types including the CF-100 Canuck and CF-101 Voodoo, "Turbo" flew the T-33 during various postings throughout his air force career. At the time of his passing, two years ago, he had logged around 7700 hours on type, making him (by a huge margin) the world's highest time T-33 pilot. I enjoyed chatting with him about his career when I was volunteering at the Jet Aircraft Museum in London, Ontario a few years ago.
There's a short summary of his military flying career here:

Another pic of "Turbo" and '558, showing the Del Mar RADOP gunnery targets that could be fitted to each wing of the aircraft. The targets were reeled out on cables to trail well behind the aircraft.
Pic above from an RCN/RCAF markings pdf I found online.

Canadair-built CE-133, serial 133656, of No. 434 (Combat Support) Squadron, CFB Greenwood, Nova Scotia, circa late 1990s.
This was the 656th and final T-33 built by Canadair Limited. Accepted by the RCAF in February 1959 and retired in May 2005. Performed the last T-33 flight in Canadian service when flown from CFB Trenton to CFD Mountain View for storage.

WOW! Really loving this one, Jocko!!! Are the day-glo AFCS and the Vermont ANG liveries on the list for upgrade for 2024? Just LOVE all of the work you've done, and man, there are a lot of worthy Canadian CT-133 variants to choose from to paint out there!!!!
Ah… the Flying Dog Whistle!Let me look into it, I still have a few left on the “to do” list first.
Great - I look forward to seeing it, if and when.
EDIT: By the way, I've never heard the Jet Provost described as the 'flying dog whistle' before!

Maybe I'm confusing it with the T-37
