Shows how good the F-86 is; I doubt any museum will have a flyable F/A-18
in its collection in 50 years time.


The F-86 is a remarkable aircraft to be sure. However, I think the CF-18 is
a remarkable aircraft in its own right.

I'm not sure how many other F-86s are out there in flying condition. This
aircraft is a one of a kind and a real beauty both close up and in the air.

I'm hoping that someone, somewhere decides to keep a CF-18 or F/A-18 in
flyable condition in another 20 years or so. I would hate to see the drones
take over everything.
