Hello Bat ! 

 BL> Really!  What model(s), where, when, etc.
 BL> I am also an ex-F-86 pilot.

        No model that you would recognize, Bat. We called them Mk. I
  flew the Mk 2, 5, 6, and 6b. They were all made in Montreal, at
  Canadair now making the Chalenger and others. We also had a Canadian
  engine of great power for the time. 8200 lbs of push, compare this
  to the J-47 and you will see a difference in performance. We could
  fly formation at 50,000'. The 6b had the 6"-3" leading edge and the
  slats back on top of this. It was a dream to fly. I got 555 hours in
  them before I resigned my commission to join Air Canada. I retired
  in 92 off the B767. Would not do anything different !

        Not very much on topic here but the Moderator is kind.


   From the sandy shores of Treasure Island, FL.
    Have a great day !
