Saw a story today about a civilian flying a Hawker Hunter in an Air National Guard exercise. The plane crashed, the pilot bailed out and was rescued. Pilot safe but loss of another vintage plane. I just wondered what a 50 year old jet was doing in a Hawaii ANG exercise ? I do remember when I was on Okinawa, 80-85, I was on Kadena AB and saw a plane landing. I was used to seeing F-15's takeoff and land but this plane looked different. Then I saw it was an F86 Saber jet. Wish I had a camera so I could have taken a pic of that.
