Summary

[edit]
Description A U.S. Air Force North American F-86A Sabre from the 116th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, 141st Fighter Interceptor Group, Washington Air National Guard in France 1951. During the Korean Conflict, the 116th was called to active duty on 10 October 1950 and received new F-86As. After only four months of training, the 116th Fighter Interceptor Squadron was ordered to RAF Shepherds Grove, Suffolk (UK), to bolster NATO forces in Europe. The move was the first time in aviation history a National Guard fighter squadron would cross over to Europe under its own power and only the second time such a move was ever attempted without air refueling. The unit was released from active duty November 1952, but the aircraft remained in the UK.
