86Sabreboy1 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Do you know if he was assigned a specific aircraft? There were far more pilots than F-86s. Even if he did have an assigned 86 he wouldn't have flown it exclusively. A single F-86 could do as many as 4 fighter sweeps up north in a day with a different pilot each time. My dad flew his 100 missions with the 4th FIW, 336th FIS out of Kempo. While was assigned an F-86A, a MiG killer and one of the last to leave Korea in October of 1952, my dad flew many of the famous F-86Es such as El Deoblo, Ohio Mike and Honest John (Bud Maherin's 86). Maherin was flying an 86A when he got shot down by ground fire and became a POW for the rest of the war. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
