That explains it then...thanks! And yes, I remember Bob Hoover and the Sabre (and the Mustang, and the Aero Commander...!)

What ta beauty, thanks for sharing love those primary colors versus those dull shades of grey used now days! I still have photo`s waiting to post due to difficulty seeing identification numbers.

The T-39 is marked US Navy on the port side, and Marines on the starboard side. The T-39 is a classic- it uses the same wing as the F-86 Sabre. Remember when Bob Hoover used to demo the Sabre at the Cleveland Air Show? Loops, rolls, the whole bit. I will post a shot of the port side of this plane as well.

What a classic airframe and a great paint job, too. Nice picture Kenneth.

Interesting it now says "Marines"...when it was painted it said "Navy". Nice!
