Photo Comment

The apron of San Pedro Sula housed a handful of Sabre 4s of the Honduran air force. FAH-3008 had an accident in 2002, when the ejection seat was accidentally activated, killing two technicians. The aircraft is Canadair built and operated by the RAF as XB827 and the Yugoslav AF as 11079, before it was transferred to Honduras.
