LT. JAMES THOMPSON'S "THE HUFF" F-86 SABER JET

#7 IN THE KOREAN WAR SERIES

Spec Cast announces the "Korean War Aircraft Series" for 2001! This series will include "7" aircraft; four F-86 Saber Jets, one Corsair, one P-51 Mustang and one Twin Beech from the Korean War Theatre. Approximately 2500 of each plane will be produced. 

Historical Note:    The 39th FIS/51st FIW F-86 Sabre Jet "The Huff" was decorated with a dragon on the port side after its pilot, Lt. James Thompson, engaged and shot down a MiG-15 that had a large dragon painted on its side.  Along with the dragon painted on the left side, the starboard side of the 51-2897 had artwork reading "Bill's Baby" and "Miss Jenny."  This aircraft was eventually credited with a total of two MiG kills during missions flown in May and June 1953.
