Warbird Information Exchange

I've been meaning to post this for a long time (I took these back in April ) but here we go. I have to credit Lunken's Airport Director, who was kind enough to drive me out to the aircraft and allow me to photograph it










Part Number


Exhaust Blank. The Engine is long gone, as can be seen here:




I didn't think aluminum was that weak

Obviously this aircraft has seen much better days, but I'm still holding out some hope that I can see her brought back to her birthplace here in Columbus to commemerate her and all the other aircraft that were built here.

Looks a bit rough, but definitely worthy of restoration. Anyone have access to the service records for this Sabre?

Thanks for the pics!

Oddly enough, I requested and got the IARC from the Air Force Historical Research Agency, but it's in PDF form so I don't know how to post it. Additionally, it's encoded as they always are, so I only have the vaguest idea what it says...

PS-you going to be at the Columbus Nationals? I'll be there
