And OBOGS was developed as system wide solution that brings a level of independence to operations that the 70s hadn't even begun to consider.

Does everyone on here know that we don't use power carts and huffers for jet airplanes anymore? Batteries and APUs are pretty cool!

Whoopee. So could the F-86 and it didn't take 14 years of development to do it.

Because like the 'SkyHIgh' of old - it is fun to see just how far down a hole a poster can get himself. There is no arguing here. It is like outing a troll.

F-86s on aircraft carriers? Which version was that?
If you are trying to say the FJ Furys - well......those were different aircraft. Hmmmmm.....sounds familiar.

The FJ-2 was a derivative of the F-86E and the FJ-3 was a derivative of the F-86F.

Interestingly enough many parts of the original straight-wing FJ-1 were based on the P-51. North American then used the basically unchanged wing of the FJ-1 as the basis for the T-2 Buckeye trainer.

But you guys knew that, you guys know everything.

You're implying he had some to lose.

Somewhere there might be an interesting story of where this ax came to be ground. Well, maybe not that interesting. But a story
