Was included in the Porter photo collection

Photograph of two men standing behind what appears to be a damaged tail of a F-86 jet. The man on the left is wearing a dark green coat and tan hat with a yellow scarf tucked into the front and the man to the right is wearing a blue coat with an olive green hat and is taking the other man's picture. The end of the plane that they are looking at seems to be severely damaged - there are multiple tears and holes in the plane's exterior and they appear to be on some sort of Air Force base as there are other planes and equipment in the background of the picture.
