North American F-86 Sabre

North American F-86 Sabre
Cheyenne, Wyoming (WY), US
The North American F-86 Sabre (sometimes called the Sabrejet) was an American transonic jet fighter aircraft. A canonical example of post-war fighter design, the Sabre is best known for its Korean War role where it was pitted against the Soviet MiG-15 and obtained UN air superiority. Although developed in the late 1940s and outdated by the end of the 50's, the Sabre proved adaptable and continued as a front-line fighter in air forces until the last active front line examples were retired by the Bolivian Air Force in 1994.
