Interesting that some aircraft did survive Socorro, my understanding was they were either destroyed in testing or scrapped. I wish I could help, there needs to be more done here in Columbus to recognize that all these birds were built here.

I am not one to ask anything of anybody but I could sure use some help. I am looking for anyone that would be interested in helping me save a F-86H cockpit section. I need to raise $4500+ to get it home, where I would restore it and take it to events so children and folks can look at it and sit in the cockpit and learn the history of the F-86. This is my only chance of ever getting something like this. I have been hopelessly collecting F-86 parts in hope maybe someday I can build up a display. Please email me at warhawknm@yahoo.com if interested. For those that contribute Im thinking of making something for you as a gift. Just not sure yet what it might be, but Im thinking a F-86 plaque or something.

Thanks,
Nathan

P.S.:

This is it:

Just curious, but are you out of Slippery Rock?

Sorry folks but it got sold to someone else. No worries.

flightsimer, you're thinking of Walter Powell, who advertises on Barnstormer.

Yeah, I was posted it here then realized the name was on the barnstormer ad. He too was looking for a 86 canopy.
