F-86E-5 50-688 (4th FIW, 336th FIS)flown by Lt Joe.A.Logan.As wingman of Maj Robinson Risner and coming from Manchurie, Antung AAA hit the fuel tanks of his F-86. In an effort to help him reach Kimpo, Risner attempted to push Logan's aircraft by having him shut down his engine and inserting the nose of his own jet into the tailpipe of Logan's, an unprecedented and untried maneuver. The idea was to push the plane to reach the United Nations rescue base of Cho Do. Jet fuel and hydraulic fluid spewed out from the wounded Sabre.Finally Logan made a successful bailout near Cho-do Island, but became entangled in parachute lines after landing in the water and drowned.
