The North American F-86 Sabre (sometimes called the Sabrejet) was an American transonic jet combat aircraft. The F-86 was developed in the late 1940s and was one of the most-produced Western jet fighters of the Cold War era. A variant of the F-86 was produced in large numbers in Canada, as the Canadair Sabre; the main variants were considerably modified with more powerful Avro Canada Orenda engines. The Canadair Sabre was acquired by several NATO and other air forces. U.S. variants were also built in Italy and Japan.

The reason I asked is because as a child we had a park that had one that looked very similiar. We could climb on it. (Now it would be a major safety hazard and lawsuit haven. But it was fun as a kid to be able to play on it.) It sure looks familiar.

Thanks for the info...

What a great picture Leo. Think of the memories you made for your grandson that day. I would think you would be proud to be called Grandpa.

PS .... I better take this comment to private mail *wink*

When I was 8 years old, my dad took me to work and I got to sit in the cockpit of a Saber. Wow. The Saber was a deciding factor in the Korean war.

What a wonderful picture!

Isn't it a joy to be a grandparent.

My father worked for Grumman during WWII - he was a mechanic, building planes in Bethpage, NY.
