Narrative:F-86E-10 51-2730 (51th FIW) Hit by AAA, bailed out into Yellow Sea near Cho-do, pilot 1th Lt George Pistole rescued by SA-16. This F-86 is also claimed as shot down by MiGs the same day but is dubious because position given is different, and also there are mistakes with the registration annonced(51-2370).
