Did the Soviets copy this to build Mig-15?

Both the MiG-15 and F-86 Sabre were based off German research. Not sure if it were this aircraft or not but there is a definite family resemblance. 

This aircraft is indeed said to have been the inspiration for the MiG 15. Though of course the Soviets deny it. Not sure is the Sabre came from a specific aircraft or German research in general.

I'm sure. I only got to ride in a Tristar once: Delta flight from LAX to DFW in 1987.

Bish,

As far as I know, Tristar was Lockheed's name for the plane, in keeping with their astronomical naming scheme. I think it and the DC-10 are pretty much gone from passenger service. Sadly. Now, if I could just lay my hands on a few Otaki L1011s, I could die happy. Or maybe Zvezda will do a new one...

I didn't realise it was the companies name for it. As i understand it, its not going to be in RAF service much longer. I think its due to be replaced next year.

Are they replacing it with an Airbus or Boeing tanker?

Its supposed to be replaced by the Airbus A330. According to the RAF's site, they are being upgraded with comms equipment. It wouldn't surprise me if there service was extended.
