While the Luftwaffe scheme is way cool no doubt.

My favorite has always been on the F-86's US Navy Cousin - the FJ-4 FURY - in this case from VMF-232 "RED DEVILS."   :devil

Hey Milo,
Just found a similar pic on the net you may be interested in. Will admit they are sharp.   :salute



But if we are talking Military Aerobatic F-86's - I am going to have to go with the USAFE SKYBLAZERS

Hi Jester,

Photos don't do the Hawks justice having seen them perform. The pic I posted is the closest I have come across to real life.

Nice SKYBLAZER.  :aok

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Interesting story about Russians trying to catch an F86.
