There are three: An early F-86E, which is fairly complete, but not assembled yet. A Canadair Sabre (Mk. 5 or 6, can't remember which) and an F-86H forward section. The "Hog" is pretty ragged. The museum obtained it for the wing center section that is needed to complete the Canadair Sabre.

I have photos of all three on my computer at home, but can not post them from work.

Ok,
here are a couple of pictures:

The early F-86E. This aircraft has the "V" style windscreen like the F-86A.

The Sabre Mk.V. That sure looks like a J-47 next to the tail instead of the Canadair's Orenda!

And whats left of the F-86H.

Not to be confused with Pima's displayed F-86H.
