![]() "Jim Macklin" wrote in message news ![]() 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? -- Jim in NC |

Hard to say just from some pictures. It looks from the
pictures as though they had an uncontained engine failure. "Morgans" wrote in message ... | | "Jim Macklin" wrote in message | news ![]() | Late 1948-49 technology, under-powered, heat limited.

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

Big John Yeah, I read something about the bigger engine, somewhere. Still hard to imagine he and the plane are no more. He was meticulous, with the condition of the plane, and his piloting. There must have been some type of engine problem, that only slightly reduced the thrust, but enough to cause the aborted takeoff. It was warm, but the runway was plenty long. Along with my back hurting, this has really put a down on my spirits; more than anything in a long time. I'm glad I'm not at OSH now, I think. It would be a shame to be there, and be bummed out. -- Jim in NC |
