Unfortunately F-models are hard to come by through the USAF Loan Program, so the H was the only F-86 they expected to be able to acquire for the time being. It will be an inaccurate paint scheme but the decision to mark it as such was to tie it to a local Sabre pilot.

I've had good luck with Draw Decal sets in the past, affordable and nice quality!

Thank you! Would you mind if I added this information to Aerial Visuals to make it more complete? Sam

Watched this yesterday, it was an enjoyable watch!

I only have the history based on what was on Aerial Visuals, so if you have the full history I'd appreciate it!

I was hesitant at first as well, but it was the only way the board would accept the aircraft. It would be neat to one day get an F. It's also great to see the museum continue to get aircraft and have active restorations, we also have a TB-25K project ongoing.

Recently, the Fargo Air Museum acquired a North American F-86H Sabre, serial number 53-1253, via the NMUSAF Loan Program. This aircraft served with the 428th FBS of the 474th FBW at Cannon AFB in New Mexico after it was taken on strength up until 1957, where it was transferred to the 142nd FIS...

The SB2C-5 at Fagen Fighters has paint! This was found on their Facebook Page today. They also took delivery of the P-47 "Balls Out."

I was discussing this possible drone factor with a local P-51 owner who attends the National Warbird Conference every year. Not many people apparently knew about it, but it also wasn't the place speculate at. We will find out soon enough I suppose.

Recently added this one. I'm currently reading another Shores book. Quite dense but I am enjoying the information. Excited to read this one eventually.

Looks like there are some interesting subjects there!

Per EAA on their aircraft, Aluminum Overcast: B-17 update: We are working closely with the FAA to safely get B-17 aircraft back in the air. While our B-17 "Aluminum Overcast" has been grounded since the spring of 2021 when damage to a wing fitting was discovered during a routine preflight...

Excited for this! I was touring their museum last December, and they mentioned they had an aircraft coming this spring. They also took ownership of a TBM project as well.
