Amazing story of a F-86 Sabre ride that was unexpected and ended with amazingly crazy and hurtful repercussions for the poor airman.

Phil,

In my official service to the WIX as Airventure WIXFEST Head Chaperon (during the tenure of which--might I add--I have never lost nor surrendered a fellow WIXer to the local Oshkosh constabulary), I hereby dub thee: "WIX King of Hyperbole".

Huzzah! :drink3:

Probably because that was what was available of him. It said in the article that he worked on T-33's before transitioning to F-86's.
