The identity of this F-86F is unclear. Given its current serial, the obvious candidate is 55-3833 (c/n 227-18). This F-86F was delivered to Japan as JASDF 62-7439. Many former JASDF aircraft went to South Korea. However, according to Joe Baugher's website this aircraft went to Tunisia under MAP in 1969. The Scramble database mentions this aircraft under Tunisia with only the 1969 delivery date as the first and last noted date but lists its JASDF serial as FMS serial. I suspect that there is a real chance that 55-3833 in fact went to RoKAF and is on display now in the Grand Park.
