I have 19 F-86s (I'm supported by several allies and together I believe we outnumber them). What would be the most effective strategy in eliminating these aircraft and minimizing losses?

Your question might be better answered in the Mil Realism thread.

Oh hey OS. I'm trying to help us win.
Note: Trying to 'win' an RP is usually a bad way to go. Since NS is an open form of RP, it's impossible to 'win' an RP. Attempting to do so generally will just devolve into OOC bickering over something and the death of the RP. When the question of 'how should this war go?' rises up, the answer should always be 'Whatever way would be best for the story we're writing.'
The Mil Realism thread is meant to inform people about military realism, as well as provide a place for all the people who care about such things to talk to other people who care about such things. It should not be used as a 'how to win an RP' source. It can make your military RP's more realistic by explaining how things WORK, but you should always remember that story should come first. Attempting to make NS RP into something you can 'win' is a fool's errand.

Licana on the M-21A2 MBT: "Well, it is one of the most badass tanks on NS."
Vortiaganica: Lamoni I understand fully, of course. The two (Lamoni & Lyras) are more inseparable than the Clinton family and politics.
Triplebaconation: Lamoni commands a quiet respect that carries its own authority. He is the Mandela of NS.

Usually the size of your army goes by the 1% rule. Whatever your RP population is it's usually good to take 1% or less and role with that. This also depends on how you play your nation as well with military dictatorships and North Korean-esque psycho states typically have large armies but with technology that shall we say isn't all that modern or at the least outdated by comparable standards, progressive democracies and republics will generally fluctuate in how large their military is but normally the exist in and around the 1% rule with some slight changes in the numbers depending on how hawkish the presiding government is.
I generally go with 0.2% of my population in in active duty and around 1% in reserve position. This is the case even as a nation which has full male conscription so that I have enough men to preform military operations but small enough I can realistically have a well armed well trained conscript military. Generally the 1% rule is the go to number but you can play with that a bit but if you're a hardcore realist I can see about 2% of the population in military roles before you feasibly start getting to logistic and economic troubles.
