...judging by the fixed fuel tanks on the end of the wing, the photo was taken from an F-89 Scorpion.

In fairness to Joe Baugher, if each of his 92 gazillion listed aircraft had a record as detailed as the excellent one Sabrejet provided, he'd need another Internet. Also, a lot of his info comes from contributors to his site who appreciate his efforts to archive as many military aircraft as possible. I'm one of them and have sent him probably at least a hundred records through a number of years. Without such sites there'd be no record of many, many specific airplanes that men flew and, too often, died in.

This aircraft was with the 195th. It had the checker board painted nose.

In fairness Baugher's site isn't very detailed. The full (ish) history of this machine is thus:

This F-86, 48-260, saw combat against MiG-15s in Korea, flying most of its missions from Kimpo Air Base in Seoul. It was assigned to the 4th Fighter Wing, the first F-86 unit in Korea. At some point after its California Air National Guard service (dclark26's photo, above) it spent years at the Smithsonian's Paul Garber restoration facility in Maryland. Since 2005 it has been on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center of the National Air and Space Museum near Dulles airport in Virginia. Here's a portion of a picture I took of it in 2009, showing its 48-260 serial number. Its history can be found on Joe Baugher's fantastic archive of U.S. military aircraft http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_serials/1946.html
