Read a very similar story several years ago, - can't find now - about 2 F86D's (Sabre w/ the black radar nose) during the 'Korean Conflict'.
One was hit and lost all fuel; you didn't want under any circumstances to parachute into North Korea (Movie "Bridges of Toko Ri").
When he flamed out, his wingman pushed the radar nose of his plane into the tailpipe of the gliding plane and pushed it out over the coast so he could bail in sight of a rescue chopper.
Not sure it's true, but it was presented as true.
