[SEL] OT: F86Sabre

[Charles R Bryant]

Rob you wouldn't of got a ride in an F-86. Joe Lynch crashed the only 2 
seater
they built. He rolled too soon on take off at Nellis  AFB in Las Vegas on a 
demonstration
tour in 1954. They did build some 2 seater F-100's . I worked on the 
production line of the F-86
and in Enginenering Flight Test on the F-86, F-100 and F-107 and then as a 
Tech Rep on the
Sabreliner  business jet. Once I  even conned a Sabreliner operator in 
picking up a set of
Stickney engine trucks in Witchita, Kansas and flying them to me in St. 
Louis, MO .
It was while I was on assignment in St. Louis that my neighbor got me 
interested in Hit and
Miss engines.
