North American F-86 Sabre —

I always thought the Mustang had a propeller? <G>

It does Skyhawk but this is not a Mustang.As stated it is a CL Sabre.

Michael, when I posted my comment, the aircraft was identified as a Mustang, and I made the comment in jest. I knew that an obvious mistake was made in the I'D tabs, and it was corrected soon after. I meant no disrespect to the poster, Tim Guzman. It was an attempt at levity which obviously failed.

Hey skyhawkrg, thanks for pointing that out. I posted 2 photos at the same time. One was a P-51 and the other this shot of the F-86. I do know the difference, just a typo if you will. As soon as I saw your comment I fixed it. Thanks again.

Excellent catch and angle! Seen in Daily Newsletter!

Growing up in Ville St-Laurent , a suburb of Montreal and the location of Canadair Ltd , I spent hours at the ends of runways 10/28 , enjoying take offs and landings of the sleek and beautiful F-86 Sabre . Also saw many F-104 Starfighters , T-33 Shooting Stars , CL-41 Tutors , CL-28 Argus with it's 4 powerful Wright Cyclone radials and CL-44 Yukon . Any other members here former Montrealers with similar memories .

TIM GUZMAN..............excellent photo . How low was the a/c ?

Flew that type in the GAF

peter tomlinson I grew up in Toronto and the highlight every year was the air show @ The Canadian National Exhibition Three days of aircraft watching heaven. When I was growing up , yes those Argus plus Cf101 Voodoos, Gumman Trackers, The Golden Knights flying those F86's . There was alwas an assorment of British aircraft as well Nimrods, Hawker Hurricanes and ooohwee the Vulcan. The latest US aircraft would make an apperance . I remember the F-15 in the early 70's when it was new. The Blue angles would usually close the show(F11f and then F4's)

;-)

The markings tell me this aircraft is American. It does seem to me to be a Saber but since I don't see the side shot, I can't tell. It is certainly a well maintained plane so I suppose it is a replica of the Saber and not a photograph taken when F-86's were operational.

Yes it's real and currently flying in airshows today, and not a replica, and it's spelled Sabre.

Take care !!! Mig 19 are coming !!!
