The exploits of F-86 fighter-bombers in Korea never received quite the same attention as those of their F-86 fighter-interceptor brethren. However, these "mud-moving" Sabres sported impressive capabilities: they could carry two 1,000-pound bombs, two 120-gallon external fuel tanks, and 1,800 rounds of .50-caliber ammunition to any point in North Korea. And unlike other Western aircraft, fighter-bomber Sabres could handle the MiG-15 threat without a dedicated fighter escort.
