Cobrahistorian Posted May 25, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 25, 2011 Is that the MiG Killer? I know you guys operated at least one for a while. Can't remember the tail number off the top of my head though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, missed the first pic for some reason. I saw the second shot. Great to see she's been preserved. I was looking at doing a book on ANG MiG Killers a few years ago, but just as I was about to submit the proposal, Schiffer books' MiG Killers book was released. Oh well!

F-89J Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted May 26, 2011 Hi Jon, Former 148th Commander had the luck to get an ME262. He was a terrific shooter with the '51 and F-94 A/B and was a major reason why the 133rd FIW won back to back gunnery meets in the 50's.
