Re: Summary of F-94 Starfire Proposals

The guy that is selling this has a lot of other interesting report/documents but its a little pricey. If he drops his prices I may need to open my bank up and go for some of these.

Great find my dear Paul,


and a more info about L-188,from AAHS.

Interesting find hesham, and just as a clue: The documents posted by Paul were offered on eBay
and posted in that section. As the auction is over, I've moved those posts here to this, hopefully
appropriate section.

Thank you my dear Jens.

I acquired this image years ago from Lockheed and its marked as the premier YF-94 except for lightning bolt on its nose and triple red stripes on its rear. It looks more like a full-scale engineering mockup rather than an actual airplane. Can anyone shed some more light on this? -SP

This is probably 48-356. Built as a P-80C, converted to a TF-80C and then to the prototype YF-94A. First flight as YF-94A in April 1949. It later became a gate guardian, your photo may be from that time. According to Baugher's web site, it is still in storage at Edwards.

Not sure if this is the appropriate place but I came across an interesting snippet I wasn't previously aware of. The link below tells of the potential for license-production of the F-94C by Kawasaki (in addition to the T-33). The USAF's Far East Air Force selected the F-86D as it's interceptor and the JASDF ultimately followed suit but a fascinating possibility!
