This F-86K was built by Fiat for the German Luftwaffe, who sold it to Venezuela in 1966. In 1969 Honduras purchased five F-86Ks from Venezuela and operated them until 1980, but found them very expensive to maintain in airworthy condition. When I took this slide in 1984 there were at least two located at La Mesa Air Base at San Pedro Sula.
