Produced by North American Aviation, the Sabre is best known as America's first swept wing fighter which could counter the similarly winged Soviet MiG-15 in high-speed dogfights over the skies of the Korean War.

The F-86F was basically a more powerful version of the F-86E, powered by a General Electric J47 turbojet of 5,910 pounds thrust. A contract was approved for 109 F models on April 11, 1951 and was increased to 360 aircraft by June.

Lt. Prusinski died last Wednesday morning in the crash of his QF-86 Sabrejet near Trona. This was the first fatal crash involving an NWC aircraft since LCdr. Theodore Faller died in the crash of his QF-86 in August, 1979.
