A former Luftwaffe F-86 (delivered as BB+170 in the early seventies, and later on also carried D-9538) was sold on the civil market in 1977. It arrived at Duxford (UK) but was eventually sold to Flight Systems, Inc, Mojave (CA) in April 1979. It received registration N1039C, but that changed into N82FS in October 1981. The aircraft served the company for several years and was sold to N.V.L. CORP, Washington DC (MD) on 10 April 1998 and received registration N186JC. The Sabre was fully destroyed in a high speed impact on 19 June 1999, killing its pilot. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
