F-86 down in Hickory NC

Late 1948-49 technology, under-powered, heat limited. I
remember the ANG F84F flown near my home, five miles from
the airport. In the summer, they would struggle to get to
1,000 AGL 5 miles after take-off. The F86 wasn't much
better.
I'm going to guess it was engine related, failure, bird
ingestion, or maybe hydraulics.
