[ARC5] This Is Interesting!

Wonder what the FJ series (Navy/Marine) version of the F-86 had in them.  VMF-312 changed over from the FJ to the F-8U-2 around late 1962?  That was at El Toro.

The F-86( ) had ARC-3, ARC-49, and ARC-27 (UHF) radio sets, depending on the date.  Some of the last, if the THE last, F-86's in use were those assigned to the MD Air Guard at Martin State Airport (Baltimore).  They had ARC-27 or ARC-55 UHF radios.  That said, I'm sure the Chino (et al) F-86s do have full capability VHF, for obvious reasons.
