Summary

[edit]
Description

c/n 203-287. US military serial 53-1515. This Sabre wears the markings of F-86F ‘51-2910 / FU-910’ flown by Capt Joseph McConnell, the top US ace during the Korean War. McConnell lived in Apple Valley while serving at George AFB (now SLCA Victorville) but was killed during a test flight in the fifth production F-86H, at Edwards AFB in August 1954. It is therefore in some way appropriate (although inaccurate) that it is an F-86H which bears his markings and serves as a tribute to him, although the name should be spelt ‘Beauteous’, not ‘Beautious’. It is on display at Apple Valley Municipal Airport, Apple Valley, CA.
