Those are absolutely beautiful aircraft.  It's one of the planes I always wanted to fly.  I doubt I'll get a chance but who knows, maybe someday...

iirc there r a place in CA that will do dual in a MiG-15 or 17, but F-86s are historic (:O OMG VVS = PWNT!!!:aok :aok :lol), so i bet u wont find that available without $2million to buy & fly your own.
i can get u some time in a shark mouthed eraly '70s C-150

I already have about 100 hours in 150s, 152s, and 172s, and another 800ish hours in another (slightly faster and significantly louder) cessna, so I'll pass on the C-150 offer.  But thanks anyhow :)

which was the 86 that crashed last year? it was supposed to be at the EAA fly-in IIRC and crashed 1 month before...

the other year there they had a mock fight between some jets, i thought maybe f-86 and some mig version, it was a remake of an actual historic dogfight or something, some guy when 1on 2 with the 86 and cleaned their clocks or something but i am fuzzy on the details.

was awesome to watch. :aok

I recall reading one crashing last year, but I dont know if it was one of those.  I'd have to search thru aero-news to find it.

I remember watching a show on the old Discovery Wings about celebrity pilots. Michael Dorn, Lt. Worf on Star Trek TNG, owns an F-86. He called it the ultimate Hot Rod.
