Do you know how long ago that picture was taken?

The lower/closer F-86 was based out of Hickory, North Carolina.

The plane and owner/pilot perished in a take-off accident, a little more
than two years ago.

A link follows to a discussion of the accident with some more links in the
discussion, to media coverage.

He was a heck of a guy. R.I.P.
