Yep, Comscope has closed plants, and are half the size they used to be.
They are headquartered in Hickory. (HKY) That was where the F-86 went
down,
off of an aborted takeoff, right before OSH. Pity. A real class guy
and a
really fine plane. It was one of the best Sabers I have ever seen.

Please tell me it wasn't the Sabre with the "Batman" logo painted on
the side?

That's been my son's favorite plane since he was a toddler...

No, it had brightly colored bold stripes painted on the vertical stabilizer,
and out on the fuselage, and the bottom of the horizontal was a red and
white star field.

Here is the home page for the plane, with pictures, kinda'.
