They still use the old helmet? My dad has a helmet exactly like that one. Save for the paint scheme obviously.

It's privately owned, so they don't have to use the HGU-55.

There are certainly a lot more expensive privately owned military aircraft.

My orthodontist told me about that way back in 2006. That guy must have a crap ton of money. ._.
I do know down at Ropkey Army Museum (In Indiana) is trying to restore a BAC Strikemaster. He needs the engine and to put the wings back on. He also has the one copy of the X-14. [link]
Needs some new paint, but other than that, it looks new.

Privately owned. This is the "T-33 Acemaker" demo.

That's not to say there aren't nations still flying the T-33, just that this one isn't active US military.
