When I was a kid, my family visited Apple Valley, CA while on vacation during
1968. I remember that a local real estate agent took us on a tour of the area and we stopped by what appeared to be a memorial for Korean War ace Joseph McConnell. I remember seeing a F-86 mounted on a pedastal.Does this memorial, including the F-86, still exist?
Thanks, Jeff The eagle has landed

I went skydiving there a number of years ago and didn't notice an F-86 on a stick, but maybe I just wasn't in the right place to see it.

Does anyone remember the movie starring Alan Ladd? I'd love to get a copy on dvd if it's ever available
Just found it: F-86H Sabre serial 53-1515 in an unusual white colour scheme. She can now be found at nearby Apple Valley County Airport.
A-AH...they moved her after my skydiving trip to Apple Valley...I certainly would have noticed.
Oh yeah, and June Allison was the Mrs. I have that on tape somewhere.

But I was on Buttermilk once, long ago and not far away.
