Striking Sabres: North American's F-86 in Foreign Service Pakistani CL-13B Sabre 6 and F-86F fighters fought with distinction in both the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pakistan wars. Sabres formed the entire PAF air strength in West Pakistan and, when that long-suffering territory won its independence in the aftermath of the war, Sabres went on to serve with the new state's air arm. While this was a significant improvement upon the standard Sabre's six.50-cal (12.7-mm) machine guns, it was hardly considered worthwhile, given the changes to the rest of the aircraft. worldatwar.net /chandelle/v4/v4n1-2/sabres.html   (1820 words)

Korean War Aces Throughout the summer and early fall of 1951, the outnumbered Sabres (44 at one point) of the 4th FIW continued to seek battle with the 500+ MiGs near the Yalu.

Mojo Jets - F-86 Sabre No other American jet is as much an icon of the Korean war as the North American F-86 Sabre Jet. In the early 80s, many of the surviving Canadian-built aircraft were brought to the US and converted to QF-86E remote-controlled drones, to be used as targets both for testing missles and training fighter pilots. Following their replacement in the US inventory, many saw service with a number of nations large and small around the world, making the F-86 an ideal "generic" fighter for use with fictious air forces. www.mojojets.com /jets-f86.htm   (334 words)

But there is so much more here-not the least of which is a remarkable collection of post-mission, plane-side interviews with the many Nationalist Chinese F-86F pilots who had their mounts armed with the new Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and racked up a remarkable score over the newer MiG-17 during the Taiwan crisis of 1958. Also included are government documentaries and instructional films (such as "The Fighting 51st"), a USAFE F-86D instructional film titled "No Sweat" and the National Air Defense documentary "High Noon" that have sold separately for $20 apiece. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3897/is_200504/ai_n13498125   (450 words)
