The JASDF received 180 F-86F Sabres from the US during 1955-57, and serialled them between 52-7401 and 72-7580,
although the last 45 machines were never used (there were not enough qualified pilots) and were returned to the USA
in February 1959. Mitsubishi built another 300 F-86Fs under licence between 1956 and 1961, with the serials between
62-7701 and 12-7000. The F-86F equipped ten fighter squadrons(1st to 10th), the ADC's Headquarters Sqdn. and the
Blue Impulse aerobatic team, which was re-equipped with Mitsubishi T-2 during 1981-82. The last combat unit to fly
the F-86F was the 6th Squadron, which was re-equipped with Mitsubishi F-1 in 1980. Many of the F-86Fs were returned
to the US and they were converted to QF-86F for use by Pacific Missile Test Center (PMTC) and Naval Weapons Center
(USNWC) as full scale aerial targets.
Mitsubishi converted eighteen F-86Fs to "RF-86F" configuration in 1961-62. These went to the 501st (Reconnaissance)
Squadron, which used them until 25MAR77, and the last four machines were then transferred to the ADC's HQ Squadron,
serving until October 1979. The third digit of the serial number changed from "7"(indicating a day jet fighter) to
"6" (indicating a reconnaissance) as RF-86F. All of the Sabres were initially unpainted, but they were painted silver
overall in the 1960's.
日本のマニアの皆様にとっては良くご存知のF-86Fですので、日本語での解説文は割愛させていただきます。

又、多くのF-86Fは空自で用廃後に米海軍でQF-86Fとして再利用されました。該当の機体では略歴を記載します。
1st Squadron 第一飛行隊
1st Hikotai (Squadron) was formed on 10JAN56 at Hamamatsu within Kokudan (the Air Wing), with F-86F. The Kokudan became
1st Kokudan on 01OCT56. The 1st Hikotai was disbanded on 31MAR79. The 1st Hikotai was a fighter training squadron based at
Hamamatsu together with its sister squadron of the 2nd Hikotai which was formed on 25AUG56 and disbanded on 20NOV65.
The tail marking of these Hamamatsu-based squadrons under 1st Kokudan control was a black/yellow checker band.

JASDF's Hamamatsu Air Base was (still is) a home of the 1st Kokudan(Air Wing), which undertook advanced jet training with
F-86F and T-33A in the early 70's. My first visit to Hamamatsu was in April 1971, and I photographed the F-86Fs and T-33As
from the outside of the fences of the airfield with black & white films only. The above phtos are two of them. Some of the
F-86Fs had colorful markings of RED nose, fuselage band and wing tips. Those colorful Sabres were flown as enemy aircraft
during their ACM training.
F-86F #756 (bottom photo) was withdrawn from use in DEC77 and returned to the US. Converted to QF-86F on 07APR87
and delivered to Pacific Missile Test Center as full scale aerial target.
(上2枚）小生が始めて浜松基地で写真を写したのは1971年４月でした。まだ基地内で写真を撮るワザを知る前のことで、金網
の外から写真を撮っていました。それでも135〜200mmクラスの望遠レンズで充分フレームいっぱいに機体を収められました。
下段写真の756号機はDEC77に用廃となり米国に返還され、07APR87にQF-86Fへ改造されて、その後PMTCに配備されました。

My second visit to Hamamatsu was on 18DEC75 with permission to photograph on the flight line. It was a perfect sunny day
and I took a lot of photos on the flight line. Please note that each Sabre had a horizontal red stripe just above the
yellow/black checker band on the fin. This RED strip represented the maintenance team colour within the 1st Air Wing,
and I recognized YELLOW and GREEN stripes on other Sabres on the same day.(Please see the photos below)
F-86Fs #755 (top)/#978 (3rd photo) depicted above were withdrawn from use in DEC78/AUG78 respectively and returned to
the US. Converted to QF-86F on 16APR85/30SEP81respectively and used by PMTC(#33)/PMTC. Struck-Off dates were
17DEC86/01OCT83 respectively.
（上4枚）小生が2回目に浜松へ行ったのは18DEC75でした。素晴らしい晴天で、その当時は列線内で1機づつ写真を撮らせて
くれました。当時は海外の写真マニアとスライドの交換をさかんにやっていたので、沢山のスライドを撮れるこのような機会
は収穫が多くてとても嬉しかった事を思い出します。上4枚の写真では尾翼の市松模様の上に赤のストライプが見えます。
これは整備小隊の識別色だそうで、赤以外にも黄や緑のストライプ（下の写真をご覧下さい）を付けたF-86Fが確認出来ました。

These F-86Fs had YELLOW stripes just above the checker band on the fin, which represented the maintenance team's color
of these Sabres. During the 70's, most of the Sabres operated at Hamamatsu were equipped with the 120 GAL wing tanks,
while most of the Sabres operated by combat squadrons were equipped with the 200 GAL wing tanks with no fins.
（上2枚）これらも1975年12月に浜松で撮影しました。市松模様の上のストライプ（整備小隊色）は黄色です。この当時戦闘飛行隊
のF-86Fはそのほとんどが200ガロンタンクを付けていましたが、１空団のハチロクはほとんどが120ガロンタンクで飛んでいました。

My third visit to Hamamatsu was made in August 1980. The Sabres of the 1st Sqdn. no longer carried colored stripes
just above the checker band on the fin. T-33As seen in the backbround were operated by the 33rd Sqdn. under the 1st
Air Wing. This #473 was a unique F-86F.....It was mothballed for storage on 18JAN67. Re-activated in 1978 with the
fuselage of 02-7974, which was withdrawn from use on 07AUG78. This "combined" Sabre was withdrawn from use in NOV81.
After that, it was returned to the US. Converted to QF-86F on 17FEB89 and delivered to PMTC. Its "struck-off"
date was 20NOV89.
（上写真）1980年8月に浜松を訪問した時に写した写真ですが、この時には市松模様の上に描かれていた色付きストライプ
（整備小隊の識別色）が既に消されていました。背景に見えるのは第三十三飛行隊のT-33Aです。因みに、この473号機は
18JAN67に一旦第二補給廠にモスボール保管されましたが、1978年に974号機の胴体と結合されて現役復帰を果たしました。
しかしその後の活躍期間は短く、1981年11月に用途廃止となりました。よって、#473とは元々は翼部分のシリアルです。
用廃後には米国へ返還され、17FEB89にQF-86Fへ改造されました。その後PMTCに配備され20NOV89に撃墜されました。
1st Air Wing Det. Matsushima 第一航空団松島派遣隊
1st Kokudan Matsushima Hakentai or "1st Air Wing Det. Matsushima" was formed on 01JUL71 at Matsushima with F-86F &
T-33A, which had been transferred from the 5th Sqdn. which disbanded at Matsushima on 01JUL71. The unit had been
operated only for a couple of years as a conversion training squadron and the unit was disbanded on 23AUG73.

The F-86Fs carried the unit badge on the wing tanks as shown on the above photos. The unit insignia was
a black pegasus on a yellow disc outlined in red. The design of this unit insignia was basically the same as the 5th Sqdn's
badge. The outline of the tail marking is basically the same as a tail-marking of the 4th Air Wing (based at Matsushima)
at that time, but they used a black/yellow checker as a symbol of the 1st Air Wing. Some of their F-86Fs carried colorful
red markings (nose, fuselage band and wing tips), which were mainly used as enemy a/c during the air combat training.
F-86Fs #735 (top)/#838 (2nd photo) depicted above were withdrawn from use in NOV79/SEP80 respectively and returned to
the US. Converted to QF-86F on 25OCT84/23SEP88 respectively and used by PMTC/PMTC(as #38). Struck-Off date of
the #838 was 18MAY89.
（上4枚）小生が松島を訪問した1972年10月時点では、松島派遣隊の大半のF-86Fに同隊のマーク（パッチ）が増槽タンクに描かれ
ていました。自衛隊機としては珍しいタンク上のマーキングに感激しましたが、まだコダクロームU（後の25）でカラー写真を
撮り始めておらず大いに後悔しています。小生がコダクロームUを使ってカラースライドを写し始めたのは、このわずか二か月後
でした。 因みに増槽上のマークは同隊の母体である第五飛行隊のマークを基本的に踏襲しており、赤縁付きの黄色の円内に黒で
ペガサスが描かれていました。尾翼マークの市松模様は1空団の尾翼マークに因んだものと思いますが、模様の目は1空団のもの
よりかなり荒くなっています。

5th Kokudan, which was formed at Matsushima on 01DEC59 and its HQ
moved to Nyutabaru on 04JUL60. Transferred to Tsuiki Provisional Air
Group on 26OCT64 - this became the 8th Air Wing on 28DEC64. Began
re-equipment with Mitsubishi F-1 on 11MAR80 and the last two F-86Fs
left the 6th Sqdn in November 1980. The 6th was re-equipped again with
Mitsubishi F-2 during 2004-2006. The 6th is still in active service.

photos. The 4th Sqdn (home based at Komatsu) was temporarily based at Tsuiki when I visited Tsuiki in March 1973, and
you can find some F-86F/T-33A of the 4th in the back ground of the bottom (#977) photo. Unfortunately, I was not able
to obtain permission to take photos of the 4th Sqdn's aircraft. Please see the top photo of #470. This #470 carried
inboard pylons with AIM-9B/E sidewinder launchers. Also, this #470 carried 120 US Gal wing tanks, while most other
F-86Fs at Tsuiki were equipped with larger 200 US Gal tanks. The #470 mentioned above was withdrawn from JASDF service
in 1981 and returned to the US. Converted to QF-86F on 30NOV84 and used by PMTC. Struck-Off date was 30MAY85.

I visited Tsuiki twice in 1976, and the top photo (#791) was taken in August 1976. This #791 was withdrawn
from service in the following year (NOV77) and the fuselage portion was re-used by combining it with the wing section of
#62-7445, which had been mothballed for storage during 1966-1977. The NEW "combined" Sabre was reactivated on 03MAR78
with the serial of 62-7445, which was withdrawn from use on 16NOV81.
The remainning three photos above were taken at Tsuiki airshow in November 1976. The triple "Nuts" (#000) on the bottom
photo was the last production F-86F delivered from Mitsubishi to JASDF on 27FEB61. This #000 was withdrawn from JASDF
service in DEC78 and returned to the US. Converted to QF-86F on 21OCT87 and it was operated by PMTC.

8th Sqdn, together with the HQ 3rd Wing, moved from Komaki to Misawa on 31MAR78 and the new
tail marking was applied on the Sabres at their new home base. The new tail marking shown on the above photos was a
new marking of the 3rd Air Wing. The larger part of the marking is a stylized "3" meaning the "3"rd Air Wing. The outline
of the smaller part is a stylized representation of the outline of Aomori Prefecture where Misawa AB was located.
This #882 was mothballed for storage on 01NOV65. Re-activated in 1978, when these photos were taken, with the fuselage
of #82-7776. This #882/776-combined Sabre was withdrawn from use in December 1981.
