QF-86 Drones

[HuasoPodrido]

There is an F-86H complete airframe on its gear located at the Old Soldiers and Airmans home in Wash. DC. I dont know the exact condition of the airframe or other systems, but it would be a sweet restoration for flight.

I would suggest that it was a common practice by Air Guard units throughout wooded areas of the U.S. back in the day. I doubt this was the theatre paint job on any F-86.

@msuber,

These paint schemes were aplied to represent he then current camo paint of the Southeast Asia theater of conflict. (Viet Nam war colors). Remember, these aircraft were drones during the Vie Nam War era, not Korean War.

Was there any reason to have Saber Jets in Camo paint in any conflict after Korea?

I hear the Airforce will sell you a Sabre for 75 grand. Airforce has a bunch of them.

F-86H the last of the sport jobs.

Wish we had a few hundred lying around.
