The swept-wing, jet-powered Sabre took its maiden flight on October 1, 1947 and entered service in 1949 with the United States Air Force. During the Korean war, the Sabre participated in some of the first jet-on-jet dogfights in history when American Air Force pilots engaged MiG-15s.

The F-86F-30 features a bubble canopy for optimized field of view, a retractable tricycle undercarriage, and an open nose for its jet engine’s intake. The aircraft measures 37 feet, 6 inches in length, stands 14 feet, 1 inch tall, and has a wingspan of 37 feet, 1 inch.

The Sabre is powered by a single turbojet engine that delivers up to 5,200 pounds of thrust. It cruises at 550 miles per hour, has a top speed of 685 mph, and climbs at 9,850 feet per minute. It has a service ceiling of 49,000 feet above sea level and a range of 1,200 miles.
