In Cafe Simviation, a Screen Name thread started, and I explained that my S/N start in CFS when I flew the F-86 Saber Dog. My call sign, Fido, was a play on the Saber Dog name. It just occurred to me there may be members too young to remember this Korean War Veteran. So here is a pic, sorry, it's not a Saber Dog, it is an earlier version, but all I could find that worked in FS9, but you get the idea.

SabreHawk:
The term Saber Dog refered to the F-86 D all weather intercepter version. The nose was alot different than the stock Saber so as to house radar.
I once owned a hawk of sorts, a Falcon named Merlin, and I love dogs more than cats, so I think SabreHawk is a great Screen Name, much better than Sabercat. Roll Eyes

Thanks Paul, a nice looking Saber Dog, is it FS9 compatable?

Fido Grin

P.S. Just wanted to say thanks in advance, my Son just sent me a Paul Rebuffat Spitfire that you repainted. It is done as an LFIXb of the Belgian Air Force. I will post pictures later, after a real good shake down flight.

Hi Fido

This is an FSDS V1 plane. So you can get it to work in FS9, but the animations ( eg wheels) are missing. I posted it as I thought that it might help some simmers to appreciate just why it was called 'Sabre Dog'........ie big, black nose... Grin

probably wet as well Wink

Cheers Paul

Call off your bombers, call off your bombers, my watch must have stopped. I got the Saber here at SimV http://www.simviation.com/fs2004military1.htm It is a sweet ride. I haven't figure out the canopy yet, but the airbrakes work. I think you will like her, just remember she is an old lady and need to be treated differently then those youg things you whipper-snappers fly these days. Grin

Let me know what you think.
