Impressive engine but I wish they had put it somewhere else. This aircraft was built as a CL-13 Sabre Mk.4 and served in the RAF, first as XB904, later as XB915. It was transferred to the USAF in Oct 1956 and redesignated to F-86E(M) before being shipped to Italy under MDAP. Flew coded as displayed with the 2°Stormo, 13°Gruppo Autonomo. The Stormo badge is on the tail. This photo is copyright © Erik Sleutelberg, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
