Photo Comment

This F-86K was built under license by Fiat for the German Luftwaffe. In 1966 it was sold to the Venezuelan Air Force. In 1969 Honduras purchased 5 F-86K a/c from Venezuela and operated them until 1980. There were at least two at La Mesa when I took this slide in 1984. This aircraft was in fairly good condition and appeared capable of flight.
