Bravo!

Don't bother to show up @ Reno or Oshkosh with 5 * MG, it wouldn't stand a chance, it's 'not authentic enough' for the judges-

That looks like building 840 at MHT, assuming there was not an identical building that has been torn down. I used to work there twenty years ago. Somewhere I have a pamphlet of that building absolutely crammed full of F-86s and a T-33 sheltering from a hurricane in the 1950s.

Nice set of images- thank you

Does that F-6 have 4 kill markings? And what are the marks on the nose? Are those mission markers or a name? Hard to see in the pic. What a great photo though.
