Default F86s still operational

Possibly the last operational(?) F86s in the world. Honduras.

Not sure if they still do, but the targets directorate at PMTC used to fly QF-86s. Sometimes they'd go on detachments and serve as aggressors for Navy fighter squadrons due to their similarity to Mig-17/19s.

They had hundreds of F-86s stored at China Lake to assemble and use as the Targets Directorate needed.
