F-86 on a Farm

Because it’s an F-86H. 4 20mm cannon were the standard fit on an F-86H!

Not entirely true. Started with the -5 series.

Thanks for the clarification on armament. I’m more familiar with the Canadian marks, which retained the 6 50 calibre guns.

Strange. Looks like it has 4 guns, not the usual 6. Anyone able to shed any light on this?

That is because it is a F-86H-10-NH, which had 4 M39 20mm canon instead of the usual six M3 .50cal.

A quick check on the tail number on http://home.att.net/~jbaugher/usafserials.html
brings up the following:
“North American F-86H-10-NH Sabre 53-1250 registered as N31250 with Aeroplace Services, Inc of Midlothion, TX.”
A quick check on the FAA register lists the owner being resident in Lakeville, Dakota, Minnesota USA..

The midwest is full of wonders!

If i remember rightly didnt the fury have a different cockpit canopy with a extended nose undercarage thingy to get a better take off run.

There was recently a picture of one in Flypast N400FS i think the reg was, as i throw all my copies away i dont have anymore info, but does anyone else?

If I’m not mistaken it looks a little more like a Fury (the Naval counterpart of the Sabre). Has a different tailplane and different tail section.

I might be wrong though…. 😮

warbirdnerd,

Go over to warbird resource group their is a thread about this plane. It was sold sometime back by Mark Clark.

If I remember its not airworthy.
