It's not unusual for pilots to maintain currency flying different aircraft. The T-33 (also known as the T-Bird) was quite a common trainer aircraft at the time, especially in Guard units. Pilots must fly a minimum of five hours a month to continue receiving flight pay.
As for the multiple approaches... it was probably for maintaining instrument proficiency, not because of his piloting skill. Had his skills come into question, they woulda yanked his wings faster than anything.
