North American Aviation F-86F Restoration When restoration is complete, the aircraft will be marked to replicate the F-86F Jack Simpson flew as a member of the 35th Fighter-Bomber Squadron in Suwon, Korea. Christened “Suitcase’s Appleknocker”, Simpson flew most of his 61 combat missions in the aircraft. http://www.starksravings.com/f-86/f_86_restoration.htm http://www.starksravings.com/f-86/suitcase.jpg http://www.socratesnsuitcase.com/ The "Supercruiser" http://www.wmof.com/JanFeb%202004%20page3.pdf http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:ILcZ9NbJe1kJ:www.wmof.com/JanFeb%25202004%2520page3.pdf+suitcase+appleknocker&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=9&gl=us 02/07/2007 @ 18:02 [ref: 15451] |
| Dave Meyer , NC | As a kid my uncle and some of his friends restored an F-86A to flying status. I remember climbing all over that airplane and have only a few photos of it. I'll get some scanned and upload them. Some are in a civilian paint scheme that is very unique. Last I knew the aircraft was sold to a collector in England 08/03/2005 @ 10:56 [ref: 10921] |

| Ganesh Irvine, CA | The thing that made the sabre effective was its ability to hit almost any target with its "mighty mouse rockets". All 26 rockets were fired at once into a battleship or a squadron of bombers and they took their too. The rockets caused tons of damage. 06/06/2001 @ 00:58 [ref: 2415] |
| Jon Michel , TN | My father served as crew chief of an F-86A, S/N 91150 (FU 150). I'm looking for any color pictures that have the 3595th Pilot Training WIng's logo (Now used by the AIr Education & Training Command). If anyone can help out, please e-mail me.
