This F-86F Sabre was flown by future Mercury astronaut, and US Senator, John Glenn. In 1953 Glenn was a Major in the Marine Corps and had already completed one combat tour flying F9F Panthers. He joined the 25thFS of the 51stFW as an exchange pilot and shot down three Migs in the last two weeks of the war. However as an exchange pilot his victories are not recorded in theUSAF's official records for the 51stFW.
