Jet In a Junkyard

I recently drove home from Washington DC to Dayton Ohio. I decided to
take the senic route. I came west on 68 to 7 in West Virginia and near
the intersection of 7 and 250 ( town of black field maybe.. or Black
burn? ,, black something...)there is an early jet of some kind
(appears to be pretty much all there) up on a pole in front of a small
(and back woodsy)auto wrecking yard. I drove right past, with my
Digital camera in the seat behind me, without stopping to take
pictures and now I'm kicking myself! I'm not sure of the type I know
it was not a P-80 and I'm pretty sure it was not an F-86.. Had
straight exhaust out the back and a Air-intake like an F-86... I'll go
to the Airforce Museum on Monday to see if I can Identify the Plane ..
Has anyone else ever seen this?

It's near the Intersection of 7 and 218 in the town of Blacksville on
the West Virginia / PA Border. and I think it is actually an F-86.

f-84 thuderjet?

YES !! THAT IS IT !! Thank you !
(Since I'm in Dayton and live only 1 mile from The USAF Museum I was
trying to squeeze an hour or two out of my day to visit and look for
the Jet type i saw.. but pictures of the f-84 are IT !! )

This is it ! An f-84 I'd love to have the resources to do a
restoration on a piece like this! Like I said .. it looks Surprisingly
Intact! but of course, it would not be pratical to restore after
sitting out for anywhere from 10 - 30 years

You have to have a strong reason to do something like that, Dr.
Practical has nothing to do with it.
Resources even less.

It's personal.
Or it doesn't get done.
