I've got a win-win situation! Connect up to TECH, and you and Jean can go
on at length there, (We've been trying to open Jean up for some time now
there.) and us ground-bound civilians can droll all over our keyboards.

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

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

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