F-86K Folks:
Looking for pictures, while in operational status, NATO meetings, of F-86K 55-4866. It arrived at Oberpfaffenhofen, W. Germany c. July 1957 along with F-86K 55-4878. According to Duncan Curtis F-86D/K/L book these were the first two F-86Ks to arrive from Italy.
The picture below shows the aft section & final days of FU 866 at Curacao island W. Antilles c. 1981-82 while being used for fire practice for the local brigade. Photo via G. Hilltermann.
Tks in advance!!

A German forumite just posts this:
“An indication speaks for it: The G91 (see the two airplanes in the background) was manufactured and/or overhauled in Oby!”
(Oby – ‘Oberbayern’ – Bavaria (County) where Oberpfaffenhofen is located)

F-86K Folks:
Good day!
Does anyone has pictures of the Neuberg F-86K restoration projects c. 2007? North American 55-4928. A pic of the N.A id plate or any F-86K id plate will be a plus.
p.s Do Flypast, Aircraft or Warbirds magazines covered this interesting project? Plz indicate the apprx date to obtain the respective back issues.
Tks in advance. 🙂

Do you mean Neuburg (an der Donau; JG74’s home base, in Bavaria)? And projects? Something like this would normally surface in flugzeugforum.de, but it hasn’t :confused:
They do have at least one gate guardian F-86K there though..

Tks for the reply. The restoration of this aircraft was done at a place named Erding c. 2007 and then it was transfered to Neuburg c.2009. I believe there was an article in c. Aug-2007/Sept 2007 in a UK aircraft magazine describing full details of this airframe restoration with only 3.20 Hrs of flying time! 🙂
