A privately owned Sabre marked as 52-5116 and kept in immaculate condition. The Sabre was not America's first jet fighter but to many pilots it was the first to win both their respect and their hearts. Compared to today's fighters it is underpowered and primitive but few aircraft have done so well at the job they were designed to do. With their classic good looks the F-86 Sabre was the right aircraft at the right time and earned itself a prominent place in aviation history.
