The F-86 is a good aircraft of its day.I was in the tower at Kunsan the day a SOF Major of the USAF got his "Check Ride," a High Speed Taxi from a ROK SOF.
After his High-Speed taxi was over, the ROK SOF stepped off the wing of the F-86 and the Major did a 180 and took off.
He landed about 55 minutes later and had a smile on his face that lasted over two weeks.
