ive seen some images of f-86's wether in a reference book or a magazine in the past about some sort of tug behind the f-86 and i wondered if someone could give me some reference as to what it does or how it works or what else you can tell me.

I did see this in some sort of reference book but am scrambling to find it...

any help would be great

Private contractors towed targets from F-86's in the past. A winch mechanism connected to a winged dart shape which was extended by cable far behind the A/C.
The F-86 airframes were also turned into remote control drone targets.
