Welcome to my new
F-86K!
𝑊𝐼𝐾𝐼
The North American F-86D Sabre (sometimes called the "Sabre Dog" was an American transonic jet all-weather interceptor of the United States Air Force and others. Based on the North American F-86 Sabre day fighter, the F-86D had only 25 percent commonality with other Sabre variants, with a larger fuselage, a larger afterburning engine, and a distinctive nose radome.
The YF-95 was a development of the F-86 Sabre, the first aircraft designed around the new 2.75-inch (70 mm) "Mighty Mouse" Folding-Fin Aerial Rocket (FFAR). Begun in March 1949, the unarmed prototype, 50-577, first flew on 22 December 1949, piloted by North American test pilot George Welch and was the first U.S. Air Force night fighter design with only a single crewman and a single engine, a J47-GE-17 with afterburner rated at 5,425 lbf (24.1 kN) static thrust. Gun armament was eliminated in favor of a retractable under-fuselage tray carrying 24 unguided Mk. 4 rockets, then considered a more effective weapon against enemy bombers than a barrage of cannon fire. A second prototype, 50-578, was also built, but the YF-95 nomenclature was short-lived as the design was subsequently redesignated YF-86D.

Ah ok. It does resemble a g.91 quit a bit though. @FeatherWing
@Hedero
I know that. I was just saying the design of the F-86K reminded me of the G-91
Actually it's an updated f-86 with an afterburner. @FeatherWing
It is bassicaly a g.91@FeatherWing
Very nice.
Although, it makes me think of the G.91 a lot
Is there ratings? Or will I see who wins at the end?@mikoyanster
@DieDieTheLoaf lol
Wow very nice

Maybe I’m wrong@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook
@DieDieTheLoaf Yes the F-86D had a rocket bay, called the “Mighty Mouse”, designed for shooting down bombers.
@DieDieTheLoaf Wikipedia says it's retractable
See, it is just Detachable @AsteroidAsteroidTheBook
Yeah, but I don’t think it retracts@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook
@DieDieTheLoaf If I'm not mistaken yeah. I have a model of one hanging from my ceiling and it has an option to include or not include the rack
That was retractable? I can still make it@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook
Wow@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook
Dude how do you feel
pinokio
My grandpa used to see F-86Ds fly over his house all the time as a kid when he lived in Arizona
Awe you didn't add the retractable rocket bay
We used to have F-86D/Ks for the Philippine Air Force! Nice pog plane btw
