Never get tired of this man when he speaks. So much experience and knowledge.

F-86 Mig. Killer... My Favorite Jet since I was a little Boy back in the 50s.

Wyatt Fuller had one (Canadair F86, N86FS) based at KHKY. I worked next to the airport and live quite close too. I saw it fly numerous times. Loud, fast and very aerobatic. It was a beautiful airplane. At Airventrue 2005 he won reserve grand champion in the post WWII category. Sadly Wyatt was killed in an attempt to abort a take off when he was leaving for Oshkosh in 2006. He was unable to stop the plane. It went off the end of the runway, struck the localizer antenna, continued down the hill, through the fence and came to rest in the road.

This is not an airplane, it's a work of art, wow!

This plane is the 57 chevy hot rod of aircraft.

If you ask a young child to draw a jet aeroplane an F86 is what you would get...

Rusty Schweikart said this was his favorite fighter plane to fly.

Four planes I want. One: Sopwith Camel. Two: P 51 Mustang, Three: F86 Sabre. Four: F4 Phantom.

Edgar Schmued designed some iconic aircraft, didn't he? P-51, F-86, F-5, even the T-38--all impactful and stunning in their own right.

And I've always thought the F-86 was the best looking, "sexiest" jet of the early jet fighters. The rc model I built many years ago, a ducted fan, was so easy to fly! Thinking about building another someday, this time with a turbine.

I am a US Navy Veteran Schooled, Trained AMH (Aviation Metals, Structures, Hydraulics/Flight Controls, Landing Gear/Brake Systems Mechanic/Technician, for 7 years, 9 months of active duty. I still know how to FIX aircraft from that Real World Class Practical experience and have used the Skills and learned more advanced concepts when I went to work for Lockheed Aerospace / Space Systems Division. Every time a Pilot show me parts of an Aircraft I still have that passion, the high pressures, pneumatic, hydraulic valves, cables, servo motors, and that Life Experience made it easy for me to get a Mechanical Engineering degree with a minor in Physics.

Steve in the 1980’s my wife and I used to grunt work at the museum. We’d sweep, clean glass cases, etc. I believe you had a newborn daughter at the time. Loved those big band dances where most people showed up in WWll uniforms.

Thank you so much. My Grandpa flew these in Korea and always talked about what a great plane she was

To the staff, pilots, spokesperson, and all other employees of Plane of Flame: Amazing effort and work on the aircraft! That is... a BEAUTIFUL AIRCRAFT! And that is an honor to clean and fly F-86 Sabre!

i have loved this aircraft for 60yrs. great walk around steve.

Fascinating airplane, particularly the details of the hydraulic system and the chem-milled wing box. I had no idea those technologies dated to the 1940s.

It's cool seeing plane in museum but one that is still flying is awsome

I was on Okinawa in 1955, these were parked along the runway at Kadena Air base, saw one go down, crashed in the Marine Corp Bombing range

The prettiest jet plane, ever!

AS a teen living El Segundo, CA next to the LA Airport I would watch these F86 Sabre's take off regularly as they were made in El Segundo. Really a cool sight as a teen. Noise but exciting. Thanks for sharing this video.
