I heard not long ago, from a fellow Sabre enthusiast, that one of the Air National Guard units here in the states had an aerobatic team equipped with the F-86H. He couldn't remember the name of the team or which unit hosted it. Does anyone have any information on this team? I suspect it was in service pre Viet Nam period.

My source thinks it was one of the east coast F-86H Guard units that had the aerobatic team, but couldn't remember who it was. I'm familiar with the Minutemen, actually got to see them when I was a kid, but that's not the team I was thinking of. Thanks for the comeback.
