why the F-86 Sabre?
I've only seen the MST3K version, so maybe I missed some dialogue explaining this. If the pilot was a veteran of both Korea and Vietnam, why did they put him in a Korean-era F-86 instead of something more modern like an F-4 or F-100? I know, probably because the F-86 was available for the movie; but I wondered if they lampshaded that in the script. Not that I'm complaining, the Sabre is a lovely sight!
