  1. What's not to adore about an F-86? It's like strapping yourself to a rocket...not F-104 type rocket, but not all that far off either.

    1. Just toss a match in that big gaping mouth, and off you go into the wild blue yonder!

  2. I've got about 4000 hours PIC in the T-39 and it's civilian counterpart (NA-265). I was told it was the exact same wing. Does anyone know if that's true or not.

    1. I think that's likely true. Both are North American Aviation products and it was one heck of a wing.

  3. When I was a kid the town I grew up in had one of those sitting in the park with the cockpit open. My brothers and I logged many hours of noisy combat while learning how to fly. Of course, we had to get home when the street lights came on.
