Found F-86 by my house.

Dang Chris...Fort Ben is close to your house? Don't you live in Elkhart now?

Ya know...if you could finagle a way to get that Sabre along with the Starfighter at Huntington back to Grissom, begin working on the Fortress there as well as all the other planes at Grissom, I do believe you could have enough work to keep ya busy until retirement...and beyond

Ha ha no I live in Zionsville, In and work in Elkhart. I just stay local during me 4 days a week that I work. Eventually will get closer to home. Eagle Creek Airport is talking about putting a tower in due to an increase in traffic.

Zionsville is pretty close to my parent's house. In fact, I got pulled over on 334 over Christmas for not signaling a lane change. Not much to do there apparently....

[mustangdriver]

Ha ha Really? Where are they?

[Django]

Just north of Lebanon. I grew up there.

Just wondering about the arrangement because if they own it outright, perhaps they might be interested in trading it for another, easier to keep up, memorial.

It would be great to see this F-86 come in from the cold, or eventually fly again. I can ask when I am there next time.

Oh wow. That is not far at all.

Starfighter at Huntington? In the state of Indiana? What model of F-104 and s/n?

Thanks,

Scott

Mr Scott...yes, there is (or was?) a Starfighter at the entrance to the Huntington (Indiana) airport. Someone posted pix here on WIX of her a while back and she was looking worse for wear than when she was at Grissom Air Museum.

Chris, would it be OK to pass this photo along to millionmonkeytheater.com's F-86 page? They don't have a shot of this one.

[JohnB]

At the very least, could we try and find a canopy for it?

Would/coud the NMUSAF help?
Are there any laying around unused?
How about a mold for a fiberglass one?

It is located here...
