Driving on the I55 between Mississippi milestones 61 and 62 I noticed an F86D in the woods on the West side of the highway. It's on its undercarriage and the paint appears in poor condition. Anyone have further information?

Thanks

The PC I was carrying on the trip didn't have Google Earth and suffered from hotel connectivity problems.

After an excellent landing you can use the airplane again!

DFW_Rider_1 has a great series of F-86 photos. This is my favourite Canadian Sabre in Brockville, Ontario Panoramio - Photo of Canadian Golden Hawk CF-86 Sabre Jet, on display, in Brockville, Ontario.
