F-80C-10-LO Shooting Star USAF FT-805,C/N 49-805 "Seductive Shirley", operated by
the 51th FIW, 25th FIS based at Kimpo Air Base in December 1950 at the Korean War.
51th FIW was tasked to adquired Air Superiority in the combat area,but had great problems
with the aparition in combat of the superior MiG-15, after the 1th November 1950.
One pilot of the 16 FIS, 51 FIW(LT Russell Brown) was wrong credited with the destruction
of one MiG the 8th November; actually this MiG,flew by the Soviet LT Kharitonov of the
72th GIAP landed intact and safely at Antung Airfield.The explosion sighted by Brown was
the impact of the drop tanks in the ground.Actually the first kill by the F-80´s full admitted
by the soviets was the 11th Nov-1950,by Clyde J. Whaley(16th FIS, 51 FIW):one MiG-15 flew by the
pilot Nasonov(KIA)also of the 72th GIAP.The F-80c had also the triste honour to be the first
Jet shot-down by one piston fighter; the 19th Jul 1950 one Yak-9D of the KPAFAC(North Korea Air Force)
shot-down with his 20mm cannon the F-80C flew by Howard E. Odell(MIA)of the 36 FBS.
The Korean war very costly for the F-80C, 277 F-80C were destroyed, 44 by MiGs(and not 17 as say
by the propaganda of the time).Finally, 49-805"Seductive Shirley" was shot down by AAA near Sohung,
N. Korea Oct 30, 1951.A ideal plane for flight with the Flight1"Sabre Vs MiG"(Missions and
campaign in preparation).
