Produced by North American Aviation, the Sabre is best known as the United States' first swept-wing fighter that could counter the swept-wing Soviet MiG-15 in high-speed dogfights in the skies of the Korean War (1950–1953), fighting some of the earliest jet-to-jet battles in history.

Canadair built 370 Mk 5s with the majority designated for use in the RCAF's Air Division squadrons in Europe to replace the Mk.2s. A total of 75 RCAF Sabre 5s were transferred to the German Luftwaffe during 1957. The Canadair Sabre Mk.6 was the final variant and was considered to be the best production Sabre ever built. [3]

North American Aviation in Columbus, Ohio (NH) built 473 H-series Sabres. The F-86H first became operational in the fall of 1954 and five US Air Force Wings flew the type by 1956. Their phase out from the USAF began in 1957, and by year’s end fourteen Air National Guard (ANG) squadrons took on F-86H fighter-bombers.

The Mk 6 was the last—and considered the best—Canadian Sabre variant ever built. Its first flight took place on October 19, 1954. The additional thrust of Mk 6’s Orenda engine enhanced its altitude performance and climb rate over its predecessor, the Mk. 5, and its slotted wing gave it excellent low-speed characteristics.

Although greatly outnumbered the Sabre earned its 10:1 kill ratio with aggressive pilots, proven tactics and WWII combat experience. Used by nearly all western countries the F-86 remained in front-line service for nearly 20 years. This model is the fastest Sabre at over 710 MPH.
