okla, I found this figure online:
Unit cost US$219,457 (F-86E)
Add a few missiles or rockets etc and it probably was a quarter million per A/C taking off.

Hey Fots....You continue to amaze me. Maybe this officer was talking about the F model. It, I am sure, would be a bit more costly than the E edition. As I said, in regard to the 51st FIW, the 16th and 25th Squadrons were equipped with the E Model and the elite (at least in their view of themselves and this even involved the enlisted swine) were "mounted" in F86-Fs. Being a lowly Buck Sergeant, at the time, assigned to the Hq Sq G-2 and G-3 Sections, I was aloof to this petty, childish, bickering , LOL. ;D I gotta say, "those were the days".
