Anybody know or have a picture of this badge on the aircraft side? Cant get a good picture of it. This is the F86F that Dale Snodgrass flew in 2005 airshows.

Awesome!!! Thats exactly what i needed!!!
Thank you very much!!!
Scott

Hm, could it be that the original skyblazers team had a different emblem on there than Dave Snodgrass's aircraft? I recall having seen other decals in a Skyblazers F-86 plastic kit, and those are usually quite accurate.....

Contact Chris True from the electric forum. He did Scott Blacks EDF Sabre in the Skyblazer scheme, and might have CAD files for it.

Definitely loks a bit differnet on e.g. http://www.3000toys.com/catalog/item...=ARMOURB11E384 , which is a Skyblazers F86, but not Dale's bird.

Here is a good picture I found of Snort in action...

I believe the one from the 1950's had a Statue of Liberty badge. The redone version, Dale Snodgrass was flying, is like the one in the picture above. AT&T sponsored this airplane for a while and it carried the AT&T logos on it during some shows. http://www.aero-pix.com/qp02/f86/f86-b.jpg

Anybody know what this is?

That's the airplane Dale is flying before it was painted in the Skyblazer's scheme.

Scott, that emblem on the nose is the old USAFE emblem. United States Airforce Europe (where the Skyblazers flew).

Maybe it's like BVM's metal finish, where you have to paint it black first in order to get the best finish ?

Doug,
I couldnt find the emblem anywhere. Do you have any pics of it?

I just found this
http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/afskiers/skyblazers.htm

It doesn't seem like Dales aircraft is carrying the USAFE patch..... it clearly says USAF on the picture posted, showing also a large star with 4 aircraft (the lowest one seeming like a P51 to me).

USAFE had this patch from the beginning AFAIK:

Seems Scott is right on the liberty badge....

I need help with the blue? What color blue is it? Anyone? Too light for Insignia blue.
Thanks
Scott

The original 1950's Skyblazers had Insignia Blue FS35044. Dales aircraft seems lighter blue indeed, i would go with the FS35050 or such...you could also give Dales support crew a call to see what they are spraying on the bird...

Best regards

What do you think?
Scott

Didn't he forget to lower the gear last time out? Just goes to show, it can happen to the best of us. BTW, Dale's Sabre has a slatted wing. The Skyblazer's Sabres all had 6-3 wings so far as I can tell. Hence the wing fences in the shot of the model.

That crest is the emblem for the USAF Heritage Flight. This isn't the exact one that's on his jet, but it's the same Idea.



Hope this helps!

Edit: sorry that turned out so big, I'll try and tweak it.
