FA_Crazy-Canuck Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I was recently visiting my home town and I drove by the park where an F-86 has been on display for over 53 years. It was recently restored. The Livery represents the RCAF aerobatic team the Golden Hawks. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YSIAD_RIP Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 The Canadair F-86 Sabre is well represented in DCS - thanks to the Modders and skins they provide! It is very nice to know that the F-86 was refurbished in 2014. 1 Do not own: | F-15E | JF-17 | Fw 190 A-8 | Bf 109 | Hardware: [ - Ryzen7-5800X - 32GB - RX 6800 - X56 HOTAS Throttle - WINWING Orion 2 F16EX Grip - TrackIR 5 - Tobii 5C - JetPad FSE - ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zad Fnark Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Down by me, there's an F-86D up on a mount which has been there probably my entire 51 years of life. Not as "new" looking as yours. I'll see if I can snap a pic this weekend. Would love a "D"... 1 Questions are a burdon, and answers a prison for one's self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob1943 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I went through USAF pilot training during 1967-68 at Williams AFB in Arizona. This Sabre was on a pedestal at the entry to the base. I took this picture in May 1967, The base was closed in 1993 and converted to civilian use. At that time they moved the Sabre. I think it may have gone to nearby Chandler, AZ. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob1943 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 In my post #5, I had assumed that the F-86 at Williams AFB had been moved to Chandler, AZ after Williams was closed in 1993. I got curious about that and went to the "List of surviving North American F-86 Sabres" website and found it's tail number. That same F-86 is now on display at the Illinois ANG base at Springfield, ILL. It now sports a new paint scheme but still carries the same tail number. Here is another picture of it when it was still at Williams, and, pictures of it at its new location in Springfield. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob1943 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Yes, that old one has been at Veterans Memorial Park in Chandler a long time. I think it was there back in 1967 when I was at Williams. It's tail number is 51-6261. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
