Tough to ID from that shot, but I would hazard a guess at a F-86.

Texans (AT-6) to the sides, (I think).

No idea - not enough detail.

Once again, you are correct sir!

I suspect that it is an F-86 'Sabre'.
The chewed up panel doesn't help with the ID, but the stick is all
F-86, and the ejector seat headrest cushion is very much an F-86A type.

That was intended to be a missing man formation, honoring Bill Gordon,
who died when his P47 crashed into the Hudson River last Friday.

The panel is a mess, and there was little consistency among F-86 panels, from
the North American originals to all the variants through to F-86F, add in the
Canadair variant (Mk 1-Mk 6) panels, and the custom panels for the Australian
(CA-27), South African, Japanese, and other Airforces. Then there are the
modernized panel found in airworthy ‘Sabres’.

After a cursory Google search, I have to say I agree with you.

Granted - but it still doesn't look right. From the rail endings, to
the height of the panel, esp. the top of the windshield post that does
not taper forward on -86's as in the photo here.

See: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ml0o6y3w1akg8db/PN1.jpg
where the front top of the windshield mount is rounded going forward, v.
all photos of the -86 where that part forms a sharp angle:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x050jqd1kq28z8m/F-86.jpg

Also, if that is the wing outside the cockpit, then it is definitely not
an F-86 (or F-80 AFAICT).
