F-86 down in Hickory NC

Jim

NTSB Accident report said bird was a Canadian F-86. They used a Avro
Orenda engine, more thrust, vs the USAF J-47.

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.

This one had a larger engine. I think I remember something about a 6 model?
